This variable looks redundant. You can just directly return
the correct number from the switch statement.

This would now return 1, which is probably a value we never
want to return from here. Either that or we want to never
return 0 (which this code would do in some of the other
cases). Not sure which way is better tbh.

Hmm. We might want to make the debugfs knob already reject the
!has_joiner case so that the user won't even be allowed to
pick a completely unsupported value.
