The following semantic patch was used to find functions and variables declared as int but used as boolean. The patch resulted in a significant number of false positive that I have ignored. I am not hyper confident about the modification I made to the functions. Some of them seem to have quite significant side effects, which is not necesserarily intended from a boolean function. In particular both *_rwtest functions write data. Moreover sisfb_find_host_bridge name may suggest more than a boolean return.
I don't think I'm going to apply based on the above. I do like bools where a boolean value is used, but changing it like this to a single fbdev driver.. Well, I don't really see much benefit in this patch, and there's a possibility for regressions. Tomi
