So -Wconstant-logical-operand only triggers when it is a constant but 
not zero constant? Why does that make sense is not a kludge to avoid too 
much noise?

Personally, it all feels a bit over the top as a warning,  since code in 
both cases should optimise away. And we may end up papering over it if 
it becomes a default.

Then again this patch IMO does make the code more readable, so I am 
happy to take this one via our tree. Or either give ack to bring it in 
via drm-misc-next:

Let me know which route works best.
