This would've been much easier if it had been a single patch. Now I have
to either make you redo the whole series because you've misspelled PWM
or I have to go and update it myself in most of the above patches. Hint:
I'll do the latter.
I guess you want to do s/pwm driver/PWM driver/? Fine for me, thanks.

There is really no reason to split this up into this many patches for
such a trivial change.
Well, that's a subjective view. There are reasons to prefer several
small patches over one big one, too. A small patch can be indiviually
reviewed, so the "Reviewed-by: Alex Elder ..." tag only goes to the one
change that he actually looked at and if later a fix to the sifive
driver is to be backported to stable, the stable maintainers just pick
the sifive one instead of one big patch.
Backports becoming more complicated would actually be a good reason not
to do this in the first place, but we've already discussed that enough
elsewhere.
Did you skip the sl28cpld patch, or squash the fixup I sent in the reply
to Michael Walle?
I squashed the fixup.
