[PATCH] Documentation: wmi: lenovo-wmi-other: Document intentional BIOS misspelling
From: Yahya Toubali
Date: Sun Jul 19 2026 - 13:37:47 EST
The spelling "Minumum" in the FanMinSpeed entry is intentionally kept
as-is because it reflects the actual string returned by the system BIOS.
Add an explanatory note to prevent future redundant spelling-fix submissions.
Suggested-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@xxxxxxx>

Thanks Mark and Jon for the context.
That makes total sense. I dropped the housekeeping typo fix for now to avoid
unnecessary churn, and this v4 keeps the BIOS spelling but adds the explicit
note documenting the firmware quirk as suggested.
