Yes, I mulled over this for a while, but I got the impression that the 
ternary-approach was the way used in configfs, and I tried staying in line 
with that in tsn_configfs.

If you see other parts of the TSN-code, I tend to use the if (!item) ... 
approach. So, I don't have any technical preferences either way really
