Nit, this is not a valid URL to pull from.  Please fix for your next
submission.

I'll also drop the grammer "fix" in here too, that's not needed for
6.1-final.

Also, the two other commits in here, do they need to go to stable trees?
I see no "Fixes:" or "cc: stable" markings on them at all.

How about you just regenerate the pull request with just the 2 patches
here that are valid and put proper Fixes: tags on them, then send me a
fixed up pull request.
