That's impossible to read and maintain over time, sorry.

Please use real "if () else" lines, so that it can be maintained over
time.

Moreover, it makes for a horrible interface anyway. If there's a need for a non-specific "is SWIOTLB present at all?" check unrelated to any particular device (which arguably still smells of poking into implementation details...), please encapsulate it in its own distinct helper like, say, is_swiotlb_present(void).

However, the more I think about it, the more I doubt that logic like octeon_pci_setup() can continue to work properly at all if SWIOTLB allocation becomes dynamic... :/

Thanks,
Robin.
