again, my pedantry getting the best of me but it makes me cringe whenever i run across the spelling "redundand" (tree-wide search):

this obviously isn't a cosmetic change as it's used in numerous #defines, but if it's done all at once, it should be safe. i can submit a patch unless people feel it's simply too disruptive.
As a general rule, you don't need to ask before submitting a patch unless you're really doing intrusive and potentially disruptive work and want some feedback without risking getting bad code mainlined, in which case... you'd still submit a patch, only tagged RFC. :)
IOW: just submit the patch; after all, the worst possible outcome is only a NAK if you missed something important.
Here, just submit a patch with a summary line / subject like "fix CONFIG_SYS_REDUNDAND_ENVIRONMENT typo".

Amicalement,
