So this is the true substance of this change??

It doesn't warrant Fixes tag which requires a real problem to fix. An 
incorrect comment is not enough.

I think the shortlog is a bit misleading as is because it doesn't in any 
way indicate the problem is only in a comment.

No logic changes in this at all? I don't think it belongs to the same 
patch. I'm not sure if the new logic is improvement anyway. I'd prefer to 
initialize ret = 0 instead:

	int ret = 0;
	...
	if (!vgadev) {
		err = -ENODEV;
		goto unlock;
	}
	...
unlock:
	...
