ACK. I fixed that broken grammar in my local branch. As commented
before, I will send the next version of the iproute series after
we agree on the kernel part (unless someone finds a major issue).

FYI, this is the fixed sentence:
  * manual: use a static TDCV provided by the user. In this mode, the
    user must specify both TDCV and TDCO and may also specify TDCF if
    supported.


Yours sincerely,
Vincent
