[PATCH net-next v2 0/3] Fix typos in network driver code comments

[Yicong Hui]

Fix various minor typos and mispellings in 3 different driver
subdirectories in drivers/net/ethernet

---
v2:
* Separate patch into patch-set of 3 separated by subdirectory
* Fix all typos in the subdirectory rather than just "Software"
* Sent to net-next rather than net

v1:https://lore.kernel.org/all/aV0tI5nFOd_yQirr@horms.kernel.org/t/#u

Yicong Hui (3):
  net/benet: Fix typos in driver code comments
  net/micrel: Fix typos in micrel driver code comments
  net/xen-netback: Fix mispelling of "Software" as "Softare"
