Hi gents,

The MOF spelling mistakes are well known. We've left them is as to ensure match with what the hardware actually reports.

See: https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/cfd7977e-d612-4e08-a68a-65fed8e164b6@gmx.de

I suppose if we're going to continue getting these types or PR I should add a note to the documentation. I'll add that soon.

Thanks,
Derek

Perhaps worth adding, but I'm not sure I would expect it to help.  The
people generating these patches aren't putting much attention into the
context surrounding them.

Thanks,

I'd forgotten that previous discussion - sorry.

Part of the problem (I know I had this many years ago when I got started) is being told the best way to get involved in kernel development and learn the process is to find small things to fix (spelling mistakes, documentation, comments etc). I suspect that's accelerated with AI identifying them too :)

What if we fix the typo, and add a comment highlighting that the vendor documentation/MOF/whatever is wrong? Then everybody is 'happy'? (or at least we'll get less emails about it)
