Hi Hemanth,

Spelling corrections to code comments, which are not user facing,
are too trivial to be worth the churn. Sometimes folks make a spelling
correction like this while they are doing 'something else' in that
code.

For for CXL subsystem, the better place to point your tool is at the
mailing list where you are welcome to review patches and reply with
spelling issues in any patch commit messaging, user facing messaging,
and code comments - before the patch merges.
