There's little documentation for the T: tag. In MAINTAINERS, we have

        T: *SCM* tree type and location.
           Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit, topgit

which doesn't tell much. In Documentation/sbumitting-patches.rst,
there's ona additional paragraph:

  Note, however, that you may not want to develop against the mainline
  tree directly.  Most subsystem maintainers run their own trees and
  want to see patches prepared against those trees.  See the **T:**
  entry for the subsystem in the MAINTAINERS file to find that tree, or
  simply ask the maintainer if the tree is not listed there.

If the purpose of the T: tag is to tell which tree patches for this
driver should be developed against, the above tree seems right.
