Re: [PATCH] drm/atomic: Spelling fix in comments

[Hamza Mahfooz]

Hi Kunwu,

Can you make the tagline something along the lines of `drm/atomic
helper: fix spelling mistake "preceeding" -> "preceding"`, in general to
determine an appropriate prefix, you can see what previous commits used
when making changes to files in your particular patch, e.g. using the
following:

$ git log drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c

For patch descriptions you should try to more descriptive.

So, something like "There is a spelling mistake in 

drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies()'s kernel doc. Fix it." would
be better.
