Find the "likely" maintainers for the FTDI USB serial converter

First, determine the source file for this particular driver. Found it at drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c.

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c

And the results:

Johan Hovold <[email protected]> (maintainer:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> (supporter:USB SUBSYSTEM)
[email protected] (open list:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
[email protected] (open list)

Now we know who to ping for help with this particular driver, and which e-mail addresses should be CC'ed when submitting a patch against this driver.
