No it is correct (at least intended to be in this patch). All it really 
do is inject dma_map_resource() (which is added in this patch) as one of 
the calls which return dma_addr_t should be checked for error using 
dma_mapping_error().  But yes the change effect all lines in the 
paragraph due to line wrapping.

Hum or maybe I'm misunderstanding your question.
