     Did you run this thru scripts/checkpatch.pl? There should be space 
after *if*. Also, () around != are not neccessary...

    Again, need space after *if*.

    Better leave && on a previous line and align the line under !. () 
again are not necessary.

    () around !x are simply not needed -- ! operator has very high priority.
