Checkpatch emits WARNING: Avoid multiple line dereference. It is possible to reduce the level of indentation by inverting a conditional and continuing loop if new conditional evaluates to true. Invert conditional. Continue loop if new conditional evaluates to true. Reduce subsequent code indentation level by 1. Move multi-line dereference onto single line. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

There is a typo on the patch subject line. Apart from that, the patch seems okay. Ideally, the function should be rearranged and/or refactored into smaller functions, since the 'if (ao_cmd_is_supported(board))' test is loop-invariant, but that can be done with other patches.
