Right, do not forget to use [PATCH v2] as prefix and adjust the subject
too as this is no longer just "cleaning up a statement that always
evaluates to false", but rather "fix [insert stuff here] mask" (for
the 0xfc cases). The commit message must describe why the change is
beneficial, see other commit messages for examples.

Kind regards,
Peter
