Who's the maintainer for the 'embedded-controller' directory? Fine if 
me, just need to know.

It does not have corresponding driver subsystem, then I guess you.
Placing above bindings, whose drivers are  MFD, in the MFD subdirectory
made it obvious. Now it will be a bit less obvious, but that's the
drawback of organizing bindings per hardware, not per Linux subsystem.

Other candidates:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/platform/*
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/misc/olpc,xo1.75-ec.yaml
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/misc/ge-achc.yaml ?

Indeed, I'll move these as well.
