https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210512212938.GA2516413@bjorn-Precision-5520
where I pointed out a couple issues (3 spaces after period in first
hunk, extra whitespace at end of "know about it." hunk) and added my
ack.

The subject line would be more useful as:

docs: PCI: Replace non-breaking spaces to avoid PDF issues

It's fine to defer those issues if you want, but this is still:
