Right, that's my mean. This is my mistyping bug.

I didn't find it when verifying driver on real device and my self review.
Thanks for your kindly review.

Below is fixed codes. How about this change?
If there is no problem, could you submit this change with first change 
as one patch?
because two changes are related.
