Avoid an extra function call
by using a ternary operator instead of a conditional statement for a
setting selection.

Have you looked at the actual assembler output generated by the compiler?

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

While the ternary operator can be useful for short expressions, it can
also lead to hard-to-read code.  IMHO the latter is the case here
(hint: the expression needs 3 lines).

If you are trying to avoid redundancy, why not finish the job?

Thanks Finn, much better!
