[PATCH v2] docs: arm64: Fix typo "initalised" in booting.rst

From: Hemanth Selam <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-07 09:13:11
Also in: linux-doc, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Correct the misspelling "initalised" in the arm64 booting document.

v1 changed it to "initialized", which quietly moved the file from
British to American spelling.  Randy Dunlap pointed out that
doc-guide/checkpatch.rst asks that both spellings be left alone, so
this uses "initialised" and only fixes the missing "i".

checkpatch.pl suggested "initialized" because scripts/spelling.txt maps
these two entries to the American form; that is addressed separately.

Only the documentation text changes.
