Hi Benjamin,

	I generally don't take spelling fixes unless it's part of a
related code change.  If you are a beginning kernel developer, most of
kernelnewbies tutorials advise beginners to send patches to the code
in the drivers/staging directory.

Also, please note that this patch arrived white-space damaged.  I'm
guessing it's because you are using a web-based engine, and it
line-wraped the patch, thus damaging it:
