From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The condition (reg_val != 2) || (reg_val != 3) will always be true because reg_val cannot be equal to two different values at the same time. Fix this by replacing the || operator with && so that the loop will loop if reg_val is not a 2 and not a 3 as was originally intended.
