Re: [PATCH linux-next] s390:fix Coccinelle warnings

I am a fan of Coccinelle fixes. But, here i think we need to do more work than just fixing it to
get rid of the warnings. I agree with Heiko. May be we should re-write this entire function and
make it readable.

Nack.

This turns something unreadable into something else which is
unreadable. It's up to Vineeth to decide what to do with this.

However I'd prefer if this would be changed into something readable,
maybe as addon patch, like e.g.:

static inline bool scsw_tm_is_valid_pno(union scsw *scsw)
{
if (scsw->tm.fctl == 0)
return false;
if (!(scsw->tm.stctl & SCSW_STCTL_STATUS_PEND))
return false;
if (!(scsw->tm.stctl & SCSW_STCTL_INTER_STATUS))
return false;
if (scsw->tm.actl & SCSW_ACTL_SUSPENDED)
return false;
return true;
}

Chances are that the above is wrong... it's just to illustrate ;)
