Agreed. I keep getting one to fix "of of" in a comment. The fix is
always to drop an "of", but that's actually wrong because it's
supposed to be "OF". I keep pointing this out and *never* get the
right fix. I don't fix it myself because at this point, I find
continuing to get "fixes" entertaining.

I think that and trivial fixes on a specific driver are completely
different. If you want to test build one driver, that's not too hard.
Find its kconfig value, turn it on and build the right arch. For tree
wide stuff, it's a real pain to ensure you built everything. For
example, the only way to build many Cavium Octeon drivers is with the
Octeon defconfig which is just one of dozens configs for MIPS (which
is still a bigger mess than arm32 ever was).
