From: Robert P. J. Day @ 2014-06-26 20:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: U-Boot Version 2 (barebox)
Fix misspellings of "persistent", including the renaming of a function
to "register_persistant_environment".

i decided to dedicate a single patch just for this misspelling given
that it occurs quite a few times, *and* it involves an actual code
change which makes it more significant.
