The checkpatch spelling test uses the sentence "an intentionaly
misspelt word" and expects only "intentionaly" to be flagged.
However, "misspelt" is the British English past tense of
"misspell" and is not present in all en_US enchant dictionaries.
On systems where the en_US dictionary does not include "misspelt"
(e.g. Fedora with hunspell-en-US), it gets flagged as a
misspelling too, causing the test to fail.

Replace "misspelt" with "misspelled", which is the standard
American English form and is universally recognized by en_US
dictionaries.
