First off, very nice to see a refinement of MAINTAINERS to narrow
down the scope and make it more precise. Thanks for doing that.
The solution itself is not very idiomatic, however :(
IIUC you want to support SuperH and the AVB implementation.
It'd be more usual to make the entry cover only the relevant files.
And for bonus points perhaps add an entry covering the switch files,
mark that entry as Orphan?
