I don't think I saw that. Also, simple test:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

	int offset = argc;

	if (4 & 1 << offset)
		printf("foo\n");

	printf("%d", !(4 & 1 << offset));
	return !(4 & 1 << offset);

}

and building with gcc -Wall does not show any warnings.

nor did compilation for the driver:
[mvaittin@localhost linux]$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC}
LOADADDR=0x80008000 
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  CC [M]  drivers/gpio/gpio-f7188x.o
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1282 modules
  LD [M]  drivers/gpio/gpio-f7188x.ko
[mvaittin@localhost linux]$ 


In any case, my intention was to keep the logic exactly same - except
for the documented change for cases where I changed bit-position
specific return value to 1.
