[PATCH] some typo fixes in docs and comments
From: Frederik Schwarzer
Date: Tue Jun 24 2008 - 10:14:01 EST
Hi,
while reading the help of a kernel module config, I found a typo.
Since this is a quite common typo, I looked for it further and
fixed it where I found it.
I hope this is the right address for this kind of things.
Regards,
Frederik
