The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     scripts-spellingtxt-keep-british-spelling-for-initalise.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: scripts/spelling.txt: keep British spelling for "initalise"
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 14:43:24 +0530

These are the only two entries in the file that map a British spelling to
an American one:

  initalised||initialized
  initalise||initialize

doc-guide/checkpatch.rst asks that British and American spellings be left
alone, so correcting the missing "i" should not also change the variety of
English.  Following checkpatch here silently rewrites "initalised" to
"initialized" in files that otherwise use British forms; arch/arm64 alone
has 58 uses of "initialised" against 132 of "initialized", so both are
clearly in use.

Map them to the British forms instead, so the misspelling is still caught
while the spelling variety is left to the author.
