checkpatch reports a false TYPO_SPELLING warning for some words containing an apostrophe.
A false positive is "doesn't". Occurrence of the word causes checkpatch to emit the following warning:
"WARNING: 'doesn'' may be misspelled - perhaps 'doesn't'?"
Check the word boundary for such cases so that words like "doesn't", "zig-zag", etc. aren't misinterpreted due to wrong splitting of the word by the \b regex metacharacter.
