since 'iff' is a common abbrebviation for 'if and only if', i leave this
up to mika who originally wrote it.

If you look at it in context, it is almost certainly a typo. Also, from an editorial standpoint, there's no good reason to use the more obscure 'iff' here, where 'if' will suffice to make the meaning clear.

The patch is good.
