I sent two patches about removing initialisation in ks7010 today, but I 
couldn't make it a patch series because the different files had 
different maintainers. I don't think I've sent this patch before, but 
it's possible I made a mistake because my local tree has not been the 
best organised lately. I apologise for the confusion.

Is this about "initialise" (and now also "organised", "apologise", etc)? 
As far as I'm aware whether the word ends in "-ise"/"-ize" depends on 
local varieties of English, so I went with the variety I'm more used to. 
Should I stick with American/Canadian spelling variants (including "-or" 
over "-our" etc) from now on?
