Remove a boolean expression in switch condition
to prevent compile error of some compilers.

Please be specific, which compile is unable to handle this?

While I agree the original code is ugly, I am not convinced your
replacement is a lot prettier.


Maybe

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

??

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.


I like this solution better, I much favor code that is more explicit in what it does. Request less brain capacity for me to read :)

Cheers,
Jes
