I've scratched my head about the best approach a long time, looked at
typo git commits, followed mailing list discussion from Link: tags.
Found documentation patches like this across different subsystems and
also a reply about undesired one-liner typo patches.
So I thought, if not touching the technical content, using one combined
documentation patch might be a proper way.

Will have a look at splitting the patch up if not resulting in
one-liners only.
