Honestly, I've always been quite unsure how to handle situations like this.

It seems every subsystem maintainer has different preferences. I've 
previously encountered some maintainers who suggested I split such 
patches by subsystem so each maintainer could merge them into their tree 
without contention. However, other ones have argued that fixing spelling 
errors isn't worth multiple commits, claiming it would create chaos.

Since I genuinely discover these spelling errors by chance each time, 
and to avoid giving the impression I'm "spamming" the kernel tree for 
some ulterior motive, I've opted to squash them into a single commit.

That said, I personally don't have any strong feelings or preferences on 
this matter. Since you've requested it, I'll go ahead and split it up 
and send a v2 patchset.

Thanks,
