* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/juhl/trivial: (24 commits) DOC: A couple corrections and clarifications in USB doc. Generate a slightly more informative error msg for bad HZ fix typo "is" -> "if" in Makefile ext*: spelling fix prefered -> preferred DOCUMENTATION: Use newer DEFINE_SPINLOCK macro in docs. KEYS: Fix the comment to match the file name in rxrpc-type.h.
