The real problem is that the subject does not identify which documentation
is being fixed. It does not fix problems in "hwmon documentation", it
fixes a misspelling in the crps driver documentation. And responding to
this -and having to look at multiple versions of a spelling fix - prevents
me from reviewing patches which solve _real_ problems.
