Yes. Actually, I was thinking of adding the preferred prefixes to
MAINTAINERS. Then checkpatch.pl could check it perhaps.

I'd argue that most subsys maintainers don't (or they just change it
when applying). Mark B does the most. I'm not going to waste any time

to get rid of subjects like "Documentation: devicetree: bindings:
Document the DT binding for foo-bar". :)
