Thanks for doing this, Aaron. Can you add the words from
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/list/?series=461629 as well,
so we can include them with this change? We could probably mark it as such.
Also, not sure if the name and location are the most optimal. When looking at
your comment on my patch, I was thinking of something like
utilities/checkpatch_words.txt, but I’m not sure if that’s any better. Anyone
else have an opinion on this?
Cheers,
Eelco
