Hello there,

As the original warning message indicates, I used compiler flag
-Wlogical-op to find this problem.

In order to detect this problem in future in your section of
the Linux kernel, it might be a wise idea to add compiler flag
-Wlogical-op to your builds.

If all goes well, this extra compiler flag should have nothing to say.

Just an idea.
