kernel/time: Fix spelling mistakes in comments

[PATCH] kernel/time: Fix spelling mistakes in comments

Posted by Haofeng Li 3 weeks, 1 day ago

From: Haofeng Li <lihaofeng@kylinos.cn>

Correct several typos found in comments across various files in the
kernel/time directory:

- s/syncrhonized/synchronized/ in alarmtimer.c
- s/unspecifed/unspecified/ in clocksource.c
- s/we/be/ in hrtimer.c
- s/succesful/successful/ in posix-timers.c

No functional changes are introduced by these corrections.
