Subject: [PATCH v3] docs: driver-api: fix 6 spelling typos in Documentation/driver-api
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:36:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324163604.5710-1-tovictakamine@gmail.com> (raw)
Fix minor spelling mistakes in the driver-api documentation. These
changes improve readability in ACPI, CXL, DMA and PCI docs.
v3: Added reviewed-by from Randy Dunlap.
v2: Added full name as requested by Jon Corbet.
