Fixup some P: entries to be M: and rename the remaining ones to

"entity". The P: tag will be used to indicate the location of a

Descriptions of section entries:
- P: Person (obsolete)
+ E: Entity (obsolete)
I don't like very much the idea of renaming it, but that's just my 2 cents.
IMO, the best would be to replace them to a non-obsolete field on a patch
that would remove it, then another patch would re-add with a different
meaning.
On a quick look, I suspect we could get rid of all remaining entries.
See below.

LinuxTV is not really an entity. Just a name for a community-maintained site
where we store data about it.
That's already a "W:" tag pointing for it, so I would just remove it.
If you decide to remove, feel free to add my ack:

I suspect that the above info is not really useful, and it is probably just
a left-over from the past history.
I suspect that, if removed, nobody will really miss it, as it is quite
obvious :-)

There's already a W: field pointing to the company that maintains it.
So, IMHO this is simply duplicated stuff that can be removed.

On the above two drivers, I've no idea why to keep it there. Ben Dooks
seems to be a past maintainer. He is already listed at CREDITS
for several things including Simtec.
So, I guess this information is duplicated/obsoleted and could just
be removed.
Cheers,
