For example, if a patch affects multiple subsystems and has an Acked-by: from
-one subsystem maintainer then this usually indicates acknowledgement of just
+one subsystem maintainer then this usually indicates acknowledgment of just
the part which affects that maintainer's code. Judgement should be used here.
When in doubt people should refer to the original discussion in the mailing

Pointless change. You are replacing one correct spelling with another correct one. And your commit msg is empty... Please run scripts/checkpatch.pl on the patches and fix reported warnings. After that, run also 'scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict' on the patches and (probably) fix more warnings. Some warnings can be ignored, especially from --strict run, but the code here looks like it needs a fix. Feel free to get in touch if the warning is not clear. Best regards, Krzysztof
