Did you recycle this commit explanation? Because git diff tells me you
actually touched about eight functions.

So I ran checkpatch on this file, just like you did. Specifically, I
did:
    scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/isdn/capi/capidrv.c | grep "assignment in if condition" | wc -l 

It tells me there are actually 18 instances of this "ERROR". Why did
you ignore one of it in this patch?
