Since we just had a big discussion about this on mesa-dev w.r.t. Mesa code and documentation... does the kernel have a policy about which flavor (pun intended) of English should be used?
I'm not finding it documented in https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/doc-guide/sphinx.html but I thought we've discussed it. Adding linux-doc and Jon Corbet.
It's in Documentation/doc-guide/contributing.rst:
Please note that some things are *not* typos and should not be "fixed":
- Both American and British English spellings are allowed within the kernel documentation. There is no need to fix one by replacing it with the other.
Thanks,
