4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e36215d87f301f9567c8c99fd34e6c3521a94ddf upstream. The extra pair of parantheses is not needed and causes clang to generate warnings about the DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD comparison in validate_params(). Also remove another double parentheses that doesn't cause a warning.
