ivtv-ioctl.c: possible problem with IVTV_F_I_DMA

[Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>]

The file drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-ioctl.c contains the following code:

(starting at line 183 in a recent linux-next)

		while (itv->i_flags & IVTV_F_I_DMA) {
			got_sig = signal_pending(current);
			if (got_sig)
				break;
			got_sig = 0;
			schedule();
		}

The only possible value of IVTV_F_I_DMA, however, seems to be 0, as defined
in drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-driver.h, and thus the test is never true.
Is this what is intended, or should the test be expressed in another way?
