scripts/spelling.txt: fix "mistake" version of "synchronization"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If both "mistake" version and "correction" version are the same, a
warning message is created by checkpatch which is impossible to fix.
But it was noticed that Colan Ian King created a commit e6c0a08
("ALSA: aloop: Fix spelling mistake "synchronization" ->
"synchronization"") which suggests that this spelling mistake was fixed
by replacing the word "synchronization" with itself.  But the actual
diff shows that the mistake in the code was "sychronization".  It is
rather likely that the "mistake" in spelling.txt should have been the
latter.
