dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org is automatically picked up by
get_maintainer.pl due to vc4 living under /drivers/gpu/drm. Likewise
the DT bindings are covered. AIUI that means we don't need to list it
explicitly.

I had this debate with Maxime in v1 when I added this [1].
It's not an open list as most L: entries are. The top of MAINTAINERS
lists as "L: *Mailing list* that is relevant to this area". That
mailing list is dri-devel.
You also get "Broadcom internal kernel review list
<bcm-kernel-feedback-list at broadcom.com>" listed as R: in various
MAINTAINERS entries.

I don't know the definitive answer here, but it seemed to fit reasonably as R:.
