Plus, you're just repeating what's in the actual patch.

Otherwise, these changes themselves look good to me.

Thanks for the feedback - would you like me to re-submit without the 
bullet-points, or without the text entirely?

Personally I'd rather a sentence or two saying something like
"Fix some types and grammar issues in sched deadline comments."
Or something.  I know that's basically same as the title, but
that gets lost in the subject line, so maybe worded a little
differently? For this it probably doesn't need much but does
need something. 

I'm not the one to merge it though so I don't know if the
maintainer wanted to just fix it up at the time.   Just my
opinion...


For the changes themselves, fwiw,

Yeah, I would say that a short sentence, then the bullet points, looks
better.
