[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add Rockchip keyword matching

Add keyword based matching for 'ARM/Rockchip SoC support'. This will
match rockchip, Rockchip, RockChip and ROCKCHIP separated by any
whitespace character or underscores.

The goal is to match arm64 defconfig patches, which should go through
the Rockchip tree as they right now only match the LKML and thus are
easily lost. The keyword matching is quite good for this, since it
also applies to the commit message and the config options itself might
not give any hint about being relevant for Rockchip.

This is not perfect (people need to write good commit messages), but
should improve the current situation quite a bit.
