typo only :)

It's used later in the series by the message queue driver. The idea here 
now is that gunyah.ko is capable of identifying Gunyah and other drivers 
can check if they are individually compatible with the reported version 
of Gunyah.

From Patch 9:

+static int __init gh_msgq_init(void)
+{
+	if (GH_API_INFO_API_VERSION(gunyah_api.api_info) != GUNYAH_API_V1) {
+		pr_warn("Unrecognized gunyah version: %llu. Currently supported: %d\n",
+			GH_API_INFO_API_VERSION(gunyah_api.api_info), GUNYAH_API_V1);
+		return -ENODEV;
+	}
+
+	return 0;
+}

That's fair -- easy to fix.

I can remove.
