It's usually a good idea not to combine too many unrelated changes into a huge single patch. But then, there is also no need to split spelling fixes across sub-systems. I recommend to use common sense. It's probably a good idea to add a flag like "[COSMETIC]" to the patch subject, so we know immediately that this does not contain any functional changes.
