        Hi all,

This patch series fixes misspellings of various standard DT properties
in DT binding documentation, DTS files, and error messages.
While most of these are harmless, some of them may cause hard-to-debug
failures.

Please apply where appropriate.

I'll happily take the whole series if you like, though I've not
reviewed it all yet.

Thanks!

P.S. I used the following to detect misspellings:

    words="(address|clock|cooling|dma|gpio|index|interrupt|mbox|msi|nvmem|phy|phys|power-domain|pwm|reset|size|sleep|sound-dai|thermal-sensor)"

    git grep -Ew "${words}s-names"
    git grep -E "[^-]\<${words}-name\>[^-]"
    git grep -Ew "#${words}s-cells"             # false positive phys-cells
    git grep -E "#${words}-cell\>[^-]"

    git grep -w adress-cells
    git grep -Ew "interrupts-(map|parent)"

How can we prevent adding more of these?

One simple option is to add the offenders to scripts/spelling.txt.
Alternatively, we may want to do something smarter and more DT specific?

At least for #*-cells, we should be able to check most in dtc. When we
find common properties, we can check the node for the phandle has a
cells property. That would also check that the property is in fact a
phandle.

For *-names, we might be able to do a generic check in dtc for the
corresponding property being present when we find a -names property.
Though I suspect we're not consistent enough when/where we use plural.
