Would “device_private != !!(pvmw->flags & PVMW_DEVICE_PRIVATE)” be more
readable? Also I wonder if “!!” is needed here, since I remember modern
C can convert “pvmw->flags & PVMW_DEVICE_PRIVATE” to bool.
Yeah, "!=" should work. I did need the "!!" - maybe because xor is bitwise?
If it's not needed with "!=" I"ll remove it.

Ditto.
ack.
