The if as written can not be zero.

drivers/isdn/isdnloop/isdnloop.h:#define ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B1ACTIVE 1      /* B-Channel-1 is open           */
drivers/isdn/isdnloop/isdnloop.h:#define ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B2ACTIVE 2      /* B-Channel-2 is open           */

Perhaps this is a logic defect and should be:

if (!(card->flags & ((channel) ? ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B2ACTIVE : ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B1ACTIVE)))
