This v7 addresses spelling / minor checkpatch complaints, as requested. checkpatch still complains but the remaining complaints are not valid for the code in question. A respective userspace sandbox for the kernel's tools/ follows this series. A branch based on linux-next tag next-20170113 is available [0], if you use that you should drop the last patch, that is used to force 0-day to test the linker table test driver enabled on all architectures. Even though the changes made are minor I've re-tested this on all archs again, and all is good.
