Personally I prefer having the chained if-else-if-else-etc statement
in such cases from readability and maintainability points of view (it
makes the code reader to more easily perceive that all the variable
value ranges are covered with no reference to the if-else clause
statements). But in this particular case dropping the else word lets
us to convert the afterwards statement into a single line
+	hpriv->nports = child_nodes ?: 1;
So why not. I'll drop 'else' from there then.
