My mistake.  I'd seen Felix's name fairly often.

I ran this command:

$ git log --pretty=oneline --since=5-years-ago --grep="-by: Felix Fietkau" drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/
656e705243fd0c2864b89634ea16ed444ef64dc6 net-next: mediatek: add support for MT7623 ethernet

Saw that felix had worked on mediatek and then looked up files in
drivers/net with mediatek and conflated the wireless files and ethernet files.

btw: because I didn't see the script published and so can't verify what's
being done here, the MAINTAINERS file shows:

	F: *Files* and directories wildcard patterns.
	   A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
	   F:	drivers/net/	all files in and below drivers/net
	   F:	drivers/net/*	all files in drivers/net, but not below

cheers, Joe
