I'm not sure that it is possible to have a typo in a variable name. That seems 
to be within an author's prerogative. Nonetheless, the patch is OK other than it 
was sent to the wrong destination. Patches for this driver should go through 
linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org. Kalle Valo is the wireless maintainer, but it is 
not necessary to send to him directly as he usually picks up the patches from 
Patchwork.
