Note ENABLE_MASK contains two bits (INT_ENABLE and RESET_ENABLE);
therefore, a simple !!(expression) would not work? That is, the
masked result needs to be compared against the mask again to ensure
both bits are set, right?
Ray - your original code looks correct to me.  Easier to read and less
prone to errors as shown in the attempted translation to a single
statement.

      if (<boolean condition>)
          return true;
      else
          return false;

still looks really dumb, though, and IMO is actually harder to read than
just "return <boolean condition>;" because it forces you to stop and
double-check that the logic is, in fact, only doing the obvious thing.

If you can propose a way to modify my original code above to make it more
readable, I'm fine to make the change.

Well,

	return readl_relaxed(wdt->base + WDTCONTROL) & ENABLE_MASK == ENABLE_MASK;

would probably be reasonable to anyone other than the 80-column zealots, but
removing the silly boolean-to-boolean translation idiom really only
emphasises the fact that it's fundamentally a big complex statement; for
maximum clarity I'd be inclined to separate the two logical operations (read
and comparison), e.g.:

	u32 wdtcontrol = readl_relaxed(wdt->base + WDTCONTROL);

	return wdtcontrol & ENABLE_MASK == ENABLE_MASK;

== has higher precendence than bitwise &, so this will need ( ),
but otherwise I agree.


Sure. Let me change the code to the following:

      u32 wdtcontrol = readl_relaxed(wdt->base + WDTCONTROL);

      return (wdtcontrol & ENABLE_MASK) == ENABLE_MASK;

Thanks.

Ray


which is still -3 lines vs. the original.

As I mentioned, I don't think the following change proposed by Guenter
will work due to the reason I pointed out:

return !!(readl_relaxed(wdt->base + WDTCONTROL) & ENABLE_MASK));

FWIW, getting the desired result should only need one logical not swapping
for a bitwise one there:

	return !(~readl_relaxed(wdt->base + WDTCONTROL) & ENABLE_MASK);

but that's well into "too clever for its own good" territory ;)

Yes, that would be confusing.


Robin.
