Hey Ralf, thanks for following up with patches as we discussed in private!

Small nit: you will want to use the active form ("Fix typo" instead of
"Fixed typo") in your commit messages.
So even my language skills got improved ;-)
This is grammatically correct, but using imperative form is the convention
in the kernel. As per Documentation/SubmittingPatches:

Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour.

It would also be nice if the commit title was a little more precise
about where the typo has been corrected.
Uhm - as this is be pretty small non-diff-related change... Is it
necessary to send a v3 or would it also be okay to let the maintainer
amend the subject?
(to sth.: like "ARM: tegra: Fix the same C&P typo in several dts includes")
Let's see what Thierry says about this.
I've changed this when applying and also added a full commit message.
Doing so might arguably be a little overkill, but in doing so I realized
that the same typo was there in the Tegra132 and Tegra210 DTS includes,
so I fixed those up in a separate patch while at it. I made it a
separate patch because the arm-soc maintainers want arch/arm and
arch/arm64 changes to come in via separate branches. I did add a
Suggested-by for Ralf since he spotted the original typo, I hope that's
okay with everyone.
