You are not misunderstanding it. My Signed-off-by certifies the DCO,
but sending the patch also means I am answerable for what is in it, and
on this one I did not look hard enough.

The patch came out of a mechanical sweep: checkpatch.pl flags words
listed in scripts/spelling.txt, "reseting" is in that list and
"ColdFure" is not, so nothing pointed at it. That explains why the
tool stopped there. It does not explain why I did not, because the two
words are on the same line and reading the comment was my job.

You caught it, and the v2 fixes both words; Greg has since applied it.

The wider lesson I am taking from this is that a large series does not
get to be reviewed in bulk. Each patch has to be read on its own, in
context, before it goes out, and that is what I will be doing for the
rest of this work.

Thanks for pushing on it rather than letting it through.
