Create a new N: entry type in MAINTAINERS which performs a regex match against filenames; either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines, or those specified on the command-line using the -f option.

NAK

At least get the prefix right and remove the now incorrect filename matches in K:

•   K:	[^a-z]tegra	all files whose patch contains the word tegra

  X: Files and directories that are NOT maintained, same rules as F: Files exclusions are tested before file matches. Can be useful for excluding a specific subdirectory, for instance:

and remove the K: descriptions that show filename too.

Remove K: It has no value here.
