Quite a few ABI/API update checkins result in a checkpatch.pl complaint about the misspelled elements being (re-)recorded due to proximity. We have a separate task to improve how it is tracked in Android to reduce milepost marker changes that result in sweeping changes to the database which would reduce the occurrences. I will split this between pure and inert documentation/comments for now, with a followup later for the code portion which understandably is more controversial. Cleanup is the least appreciated part of kernel maintenance ;-}. Sincerely -- Mark Salyzyn
