from MAINTAINERS:

	   scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
	   match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns.  By default,
	   get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: pattern
	   match occurs.  When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
	   to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.

F: entries are preferred to N: entries because the
get_maintainer.pl script does not assume that the
N: entries are exclusively maintained.  Maybe use a
more comprehensive F: list like:

F:	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/*/*owl-*
F:	arch/arm/boot/dts/owl-*
F:	drivers/*/owl-*
F:	drivers/*/*-owl*
F:	drivers/*/*/owl-*
F:	drivers/*/*/*-owl*
F:	include/dt-bindings/power/owl-*
F:	include/linux/soc/actions/owl-sps.h
