FWIIW, I think it is fine to fix both problems in one patch
because both the cited patches were included in the same release - v5.6.
(Actually, they seem to be consecutive patches in git history.)

If you need to post a v2 for some other reason, please consider reworking
this comment so lines are no longer than 80 columns wide. The previous form
where the comment was on it's own line looks good to me.

Likewise below.

In any case, this patch looks good to me.
