checkpatch already does typo checking using the input file scripts/spelling.txt. You are welcome to add more typos to that file. and fyi: 'incase||in case' is not there, perhaps because it is a alternate spelling of encase, but it does seem every use of "incase" in the kernel should be "in case" $ git grep -w -i incase | wc -l 43
