Surprisingly the checkpatch script reported a misspelling: "WARNING: 'additionaly' may be misspelled - perhaps 'additionally'? #417: * We enable TRIG_GRANU for RX and TX and additionaly we set" Additionally it reported that the file does not appear to be a unified-diff (due to my mistake). Running checkpatch again with '-f', it didn't report any problems: "drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_omap.c has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission." Is this a bug in checkpatch.pl? Or is it a feature? Kind regards, Rolf
