Hi Colin, thanks for your patch.

I would suggest adding a Fixes line, but looking into the history of the 
typo, it went through many patches that modified this line but preserved 
the typo.
Actually, it dates back to the very first commit that introduces mlx4 
driver:

Patches history:
2b3ddf27f48c net/mlx4_core: Replace VF zero mac with random mac in mlx4_core
ef96f7d46ad8 net/mlx4_en: Handle unassigned VF MAC address correctly
6bbb6d99f3d2 net/mlx4_en: Optimize Rx fast path filter checks
453a60827735 mlx4_en: Giving interface name in debug messages
c27a02cd94d6 mlx4_en: Add driver for Mellanox ConnectX 10GbE NIC

I'm not sure what the "Fixes:" policy is in these cases.

Thanks,
Tariq

I wouldn't necessarily put a Fixes tag on this, because does fixing the
spelling really count as a bugfix?  It's borderline whether it's a fix
or a cleanup.

Applied, thanks Colin.

And I agree that this doesn't really deserve a Fixes: tag.

Fixes: tags should really be for changes that introduce truly
functional bugs.

And that could even be applied in this case _iff_ the string
was essential in some way for userland tools which parse the
output or similar.  But that is not the case here.

Anyways, thanks.
