This patch introduced three helper functions to hide direct

I think pci_clear_dev_assigned() would make more sense, we're not
setting a flag named DEASSIGNED.
Though it is a flag operation now, may not later, we define it
because we want to hide the internal operation.
'set' to 'deassigned' status is enough. So I would like keep it.
I disagree, the opposite of a 'set' is a 'clear', or at least an
'unset'. Using bit-ops-like terminology doesn't lock us into an
implementation. As written, this could just as easily be setting two
different variables.
So there are two pairs of opposite:

set assigned ---> unset assigned
set assigned ---> set deassigned

Here you prefer the 'verb' set /unset, and I prefer the 'adj.' assigned / deassigned.

Do they really have different meaning or make confusion ? I don't think so.

Thanks,
Ethan

The ternary operation isn't necessary. Thanks,
Yep,

return pdev->dev_flags & PCI_DEV_FLAGS_ASSIGNED

is enough.

Thanks,
