Hi Yicong Hui,

Thanks for your patch.

According to codespell, both the benet and ks8842 drivers also have other
spelling mistakes. So I think it would make sense to make a patch set,
with per-driver, or perhaps per-directory, patches that fix all spelling
errors in each driver (or directory).

Also, I'd lean towards this being for net-next rather than net
as I don't think these changes are use-visible.

Thanks!
