The only reason I suggested it was because when looked at your code, it also took several reads to work out what it was trying to do! Would using !!bus->read != !!bus->write would help or make it worse, !!ptr being the more normal way to convert something to a boolean? -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up.
