Then checkpatch is wrong, the original code is better as it is explicit
about what to do here.

Do you want to look up the order-of-operations every time to see if "&&"
is before or after "==" or the same?

sorry, but I will not take this, we write code for people first,
compilers second, and the original code is more obvious and explicit and
better in the long run.
