Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] MAINTAINERS: add a sample ethtool section entry

I feel like we don't do a good enough keeping authors of driver
APIs around. The ethtool code base was very nicely compartmentalized
by Michal. Establish a precedent of creating MAINTAINERS entries
for "sections" of the ethtool API. Use Andrew and cable test as
a sample entry. The entry should ideally cover 3 elements:
a core file, test(s), and keywords. The last one is important
because we intend the entries to cover core code *and* reviews
of drivers implementing given API!

v2:
 - use cable_test as the keyword, looks like it doesn't produce any
   false positives
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250202021155.1019222-2-kuba@kernel.org
