The script checkpatch.pl (used in checkpatches.sh) can use a dictionary from the codespell project to check spelling. There are multiple dictionaries to be used.
The script build-dict.sh concatenate multiple dictionaries and remove some annoying false positives. The dictionary built by this script must be saved in a file which is referenced with the environment variable DPDK_CHECKPATCH_CODESPELL. The easiest is to export this variable in ~/.config/dpdk/devel.config.
