No fs/cifs_common directory in kernel tree

Dear Steve, dear Namjae,

I am tracking consistency of the MAINTAINERS file and noticed:

Commit 332c404a55ef ("cifs: add cifs_common directory to MAINTAINERS
file") and commit e9e3d5f9e34c ("MAINTAINERS: ksmbd: add cifs_common
directory to ksmbd entry") add the file entry fs/cifs_common/ to the
sections COMMON INTERNET FILE SYSTEM CLIENT (CIFS) and KERNEL SMB3
SERVER (KSMBD).

However, as of now, there is no fs/cifs_common/ directory in the
mainline tree or in the latest linux-next tree.

Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns complains:

warning: no file matches F: fs/cifs_common/

Are there more commits to come that will add or move files to
fs/cifs_common/, or did you decide against introducing fs/cifs_common/
in the course of the development and these commits are left-over from
a previous development?

Best regards,

Lukas
