Ok, I pulled it, but some checking shows that not all of the
corrections are correct.

For example:

  @@ -557 +557 @@ struct sctp_ulpevent *sctp_ulpevent_make_send_failed(
  	 * ressemble/resemble a fragmented message.

(this is with "word diff"), the "ressemble" was corrected to
"resemble". But the correct spelling in this case is actually
"reassemble".

Another example:

  @@ -317 +317 @@ static struct clk timer2_clk = {
          .usecount = 1,              /* REVISIT: why cant'can't' this
be disabled? */

where (cant') was changed into (can't') - notice the extra apostrophe
(it used to be there, just transposed with the 't' - there were at
least three of those).

Regardless, those were the only ones I _noticed_, there may well be
others. I'd suggest people try to find more. The easiest way I found
to go through it was:

   git show -U0 --color-words 25985edcedea

which makes it reasonably dense and easy to see.
