Daniel, how "incorrect" do you mean exactly?

As you cited, the above patch was added for the request for the
specific model, so the patch itself is correct per definition.  What
wrong could be the choice of the model option by the original poster,
which I cannot judge.

Of course I have no objection to fix the model entry at all, but I
need a more proper justification.
