Somebody is sure to complain at some point that this should really be:

	if (condition && another_condition)
		do_something();

To head that off, I think I'll apply your first version instead, sorry
Jani.

In general I'm pretty reluctant to apply coding-style patches for the
simple reason that I sure don't want to be the arbitrator of proper kernel
style.  This one seems to fit well within the accepted norms, though.

Thanks,
