 evp_generic_fetch() calls ossl_method_construct() with the given
-C<libctx>, C<operation_id>, C<algorithm>, and C<properties> and uses
+C<libctx>, C<operation_id>, C<name>, and C<properties> and uses
 it to create an EVP method with the help of the functions
 C<new_method>, C<upref_method>, and C<free_method>.
