Part of the problem (I know I had this many years ago when I got started) is being told the best way to get involved in kernel development and learn the process is to find small things to fix (spelling mistakes, documentation, comments etc). I suspect that's accelerated with AI identifying them too :) What if we fix the typo, and add a comment highlighting that the vendor documentation/MOF/whatever is wrong? Then everybody is 'happy'? (or at least we'll get less emails about it) Mark
