According to codespell, both the benet and ks8842 drivers also have other spelling mistakes. So I think it would make sense to make a patch set, with per-driver, or perhaps per-directory, patches that fix all spelling errors in each driver (or directory). Also, I'd lean towards this being for net-next rather than net as I don't think these changes are use-visible. Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] ... Thanks!
