Please make sure to cc everybody on every single patch. It makes it a nightmare
to deal with your series given the volume of mail I get.

I may have to write a bot to auto send this :)

Anyway LGTM so:

This file has been moved into mm/ in a recent series of mine, but I guess it
should all come out in the wash anyway one way or another.

This one I'd drop, as a series of mine I'm going to send soon removes it from
the kernel altogether, and I don't want conflicts on a typo fix :)

Thanks!

I agree, but I find myself wondering what the LLM did here.
checkpatch reported the misspelling.
Does it take an LLM to use the correct spelling?

Too trivial, but 's/explicity/Explicity/'

Again, too trivial, but I think mentioning spelling.txt is not necessary.  LLMs
might disagree.

Anyway good catch, and looks correct to me.  Thank you for fixing this.
