i think it's useful to fix typos in those things, but this would def require a human to review things. it might also be saner to start with a whitelist of common typos (doesnt checkpatch have this ?) rather than doing it against a dictionary.
for example, we've committed a few drivers that used "platfrom" in their structure names when it should have been "platform". -mike
