Re: [PATCH] Fix misspellings of "whether" in comments.

[Dan Carpenter]

To be honest, I have no idea what's going on in the trivial tree
these days or what the rules are there.

But my instinct says that this would be better broken up into per
subsystem patches and sent through the normal trees.  Patches that
touch a ton of files like this are hard to merge all at once.
Someone is going to be changing some files and you'll get conflicts.

Frankly, there are no strict rules. The patch has to qualify as described 
in Documentation/SubmittingPatches, but that's basically it.

I am taking cross-subtree patches into trivial.git if they are not causing

But I don't mind if it goes through subsystem maintainers instead if both 
parties prefer it that way.
