[[yocto] kernel manual: confusing coverage of FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend] On

minor quibble about kernel dev manual -- section 2.2.1, "creating
the append file", uses the example of:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
while section 2.2.3 uses:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
both sections kind of implying that that's the way to do it, without
making it clear that *either* way works as long as the variable
prepend matches up with the directory name.
both ways are correct, of course, but the wording is a bit
confusing.
It's probably worth changing the latter reference to match the former.
Both work but with any new recipes (at least in the layers I maintain)
the preference is to use the former for clarity as well as faster
lookups.
What makes one way faster than any other?
