Subject: "mm/huge_memory: correct minor spelling mistake"

Then a simple "Let's correct progated -> propagated in a comment."

You can drop the "no functional change" part as you only modify a comment.

Are there any other spelling issues in that file so we can avoid more of 
these patches that don't add a lot of value and only consume reviewer time?

Hi David,

I have found no other spelling issues. I also did a deeper review of
the mm/ directory in general and identified more than 20 evident typos
across various files.

I was considering cleaning all of mm/ in one go to provide a more
thorough and consistent update. However, if you feel that doing so
would not add significant value and would only consume reviewer / my
time, I completely understand and can refrain from submitting them.
Alternatively, I could create a single patch that addresses all the
typos at once in mm/.

Please let me know your preference.

Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

then please send all of them in a single series, combining them in 
patches where reasonable.

For example, the feedback I gave you should be applied to all patches 
(e.g., subject prefix, patch description).

Imagine doing that as a reviewer to 20 individual patches from 20 
individual contributors :)
