Not worth a separate patch, especially since the original comment is merely
copying the C sources, and as such, does not add any value.

I'd either a) craft a new documentation line that adds some value, or b) just
merge this patch into the previous one, and make a note in the commit
description to the effect that you've included a trivial typo fix as long
as you're there.
