  • Here are some of the more common spelling mistakes that I've found while
    fixing up spelling mistakes in kernel error message text. They probably
    should be added to this list so we don't keep on seeing them appearing
    again.

  • Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

    overide||override

    While we are here, fix the doubled "address" in the touched line
    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti-abb-regulator.txt.

    Also, fix the comment block style in the touched hunks in
    drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drx39xyj/drx_driver.h.

    I kept the TSL2563_INT_DISBLED in /drivers/iio/light/tsl2563.c
    untouched. The macro is not referenced at all, but this commit is
    touching only comment blocks just in case.

  • I wrote a simple script to find new typo not in spelling.txt.
    (https://github.com/jinb-park/find-linux-kernel-typo)

    and get following result:

    [ rank ]
    63 paramaters
    18 alignement
    9 strucuture
    ....

    The number means how many files include the typo.
    This patch adds these common typo.

    While we are here, add a missing colon in the boilerplate in DT binding
    documents. The "you SoC" in allwinner,sunxi-pinctrl.txt was fixed as
    well.

    I reworded "as the followings:" to "as follows:" for
    drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c.

    I did not touch the "N_BYTE_ALIGMENT" macro in

    impact.

    I fixed "_aligment_handler" in arch/openrisc/kernel/entry.S because
    it is surrounded by #if 0 ... #endif. It is surely safe and I
    confirmed "_alignment_handler" is correct.

    I also fixed the "controler" I found in the same hunk in
    arch/openrisc/kernel/head.S.

    I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
    I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
    list. I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
    "userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.
