Hi Masahiro,

I got some credits from Nick for a review by seeing a typo - not on a
review of the code - and H. Peter Anvin asked why.

I am not sure what is here the correct credit to give.
Depends a "Reviewed-by" and/or "Suggested-by" on a technical review?

My POV: When people take time to look over patches they should get
credits - sort of esteem.

Regards,
- Sedat -

P.S.: Tipp: Use codespell to find typos :-).
