Subject: [PATCH v3] docs: arm64: Fix typo "initalised" in booting.rst
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 17:11:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907114146.39715-1-hemanth.selam@gmail.com> (raw)
Add the missing "i" to "initalised" in the description of the
spin-table cpu-release-addr property.
The British spelling is deliberate. doc-guide/contributing.rst asks
that both American and British spellings be left alone, so only the typo
is corrected, not the dialect. checkpatch.pl suggests "initialized"
here because scripts/spelling.txt maps this entry to the American form;
that is addressed separately.

Notes:
Changes since v2:
- the guidance lives in doc-guide/contributing.rst, not
doc-guide/checkpatch.rst as v2 claimed (Weijie Yuan)
- drop the v1 narrative and the redundant "only the documentation text
changes" line
Changes since v1:
- keep "initialised" rather than switching the file to "initialized",
so the British spelling is preserved (Randy Dunlap)
