It'll save the else statement below, and makes the code a little more
obvious...but its not a big deal.

It was the preferred style once-upon-a-time to not have braces for
single line if/else. I think it is really up to the driver/driver
maintainer now. I'd prefer it to be the old way, but its not the end
of the world.

Won't this break for rc == 0 (the most probable case)?
I'm fine with the fix being included in this patch, with a comment to
note the fix. I don't believe it could ever be hit in real life, so
I'm not worried about it.

non-BWD design has a min/max of 4...so it'll always have > 2 or be an
error (hence the comment above).
