Yes, the initial version I thought was:

if (dev->devname[0] != '/')
    mdfd = open_dev(dv->devname);
if (dev->devname[0] == '/' || mdfd < 0)
    mdfd = open_mddev(dv->devname, 1);

But I thought you have a reason to use switch-case expression,
so I kept switch-case.
If you agree, I'll send v2 patch using if-expression.
