Lately I've been cleaning up spelling mistakes in kernel error messages
and here are some of the more common spelling mistakes that I've found
which probably should be added to this list so we don't keep on seeing
them appearing again.

No need to correct the correct.

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

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.

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

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

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
13830
$ git log --format='%H' v3.15..v3.16 | \
while read commit ; do \
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

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