A few instances of "fimware" instead of "firmware" were found.  Fix
these and add it to the spelling.txt file.

35108d7138 scripts/spelling.txt: add some typo-words
I wrote a small script to show word-pair from all linux spelling-typo
commits, and get following result by sort | uniq -c:

    181 occured -> occurred
     78 transfered -> transferred
     67 recieved -> received
     65 dependant -> dependent
     58 wether -> whether
     56 accomodate -> accommodate
     54 occured -> occurred
     51 recieve -> receive
     47 cant -> can't
     40 sucessfully -> successfully
     ...

Some of them are not in spelling.txt, this patch adds the most common
word-pairs into spelling.txt.

c22b6ae69e scripts/spelling.txt: spelling of uninitialized
I just did a spelling mistake of uninitialized and wrote that as
unintialized.  Fortunately I noticed it in my final review.

779a6ce877 scripts/spelling.txt: add misspelled words for check
misspelled words for check:-
 chcek
 chck
 cehck

I myself did these spell mistakes in changelog for patches, Thus
suggesting to add in spelling.txt, so that checkpatch.pl warns it
earlier.  References:-

./arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64e.S:456: . . . make sure you chcek
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/25/289
./arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:1368: * No need to cehck in that case

66b47b4a9d checkpatch: look for common misspellings
Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list.  Several false
positives were removed, and several additional words added that were
common in the kernel:

	backword backwords
	invalide valide
	recieves
	singed unsinged

While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high
priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree.

In the 13830 commits between 3.15 and 3.16, the script would have noticed
560 spelling mistakes. The top 25 are shown here:

$ git log --pretty=oneline v3.15..v3.16 | wc -l

$ git log --format='%H' v3.15..v3.16 | \

     echo "commit $commit" ; \
     git log --format=email --stat -p -1 $commit | \
       ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --types=typo_spelling --no-summary - ; \
   done | tee spell_v3.15..v3.16.txt | grep "may be misspelled" | \
   awk '{print $2}' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

      6 'changable'
      5 'tmis'
      5 'singed'

Thanks to Joe Perches for rewrites, suggestions, additional misspelling
entries, and testing.
