What part of:

--------------------------
commit 94553f8a218540d676efbf3f7827ed493d1057cf
Author: Jason Wang <wangborong@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Aug 4 08:58:14 2022 +0800

    HID: ishtp-hid-clientHID: ishtp-hid-client: Fix comment typo
    
    The double `like' is duplicated in the comment, remove one.
