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.
