Hi Shuah, Jon et al,

I've been trying to get the same change merged since August 2025:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20250824075007.13901-2-bacs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

resent in January:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20260115172817.7120-1-bacs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

It's great that this trivial fix is finally getting merged, but can someone
explain why this patch was accepted in preference to the one I sent in August?
