Re: [PATCH] ipv4: remove parentheses in return statement

It is always wrong to write 'return (...)'.

In your imagination.

After removal, realign the code where necessary.

-	return ((val ^ (val >> 8) ^ (val >> 16) ^ (val >> 24)) &
-		(IN4_ADDR_HSIZE - 1));
+	return (val ^ (val >> 8) ^ (val >> 16) ^ (val >> 24)) &
+	       (IN4_ADDR_HSIZE - 1);

Those parenthesis are there to make the evaluation order and
grouping explicit.

The other ones you changed are wrong for similar reasons.

I absolutely am not applying patches like this.
