sounds odd, id say either
free + do
or
frees + does
(just gut feeling)

Also it does not just free memory and not what has been
allocated by swsContext, as thats a struct and not a function
that does something.

really i think that 
"frees a swscaler context" is perfectly fine
if one wants to write more text one needs to write this more general
to stay correct. Like freeing all resources (not just memory) that
have been allocated during context creation as well as possibly later.
but this appears to be heading in the overkill directtion IMHO

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
