Generally it's not really something to be worried about if you have for example a swap partition in your RAID array. If you do a repair and then a check the mismatch_cnt should reset to 0.
the mismatch_cnt is not 0 so then automatically checked and repaired
on all weekend. and this is not a swap partition as i wrote there are
the /srv partitions with only data.
