Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: wimax: i2400m: control.c: Cleaning up conjunction
 always evaluates to false

Hi

Thought about it, and now it becomes clearer.
But if someone decides to change the X or Y to a larger range than 1
and 2, it will not be correct ..?
Or, will it not happen?

But I'm no expert on this code :)
I just wanted to point out the logical error.


Best regards
Rickard Strandqvist
