In the file drivers/media/tuners/mxl5005s.c, the function MXL_BlockInit contains: status += MXL_ControlWrite(fe, RFSYN_EN_CHP_HIGAIN, state->Mode ? 1 : 1); status += MXL_ControlWrite(fe, EN_CHP_LIN_B, state->Mode ? 0 : 0); Could the second arguments just be 1 and 0, respectively? It's true that the preceeding call contains state->Mode, but in a more useful way, so perhaps it could be useful for uniformity? thanks, julia
