Btw in the other patch you did something like

var xyz;

… == (xyz)

which has nothing to do with operator precedence.

And if a compiler or static analyzer is in doubt it issues a warning / error.

Yes and no.

In that case (IIRC) the for-loop use to be too verbose instead of
simple (--i >= 0). For sake of readability and maintenance.

OK.

Readability and logical break of the blocks: a) runtime PM, b)
platform resource management.
Do you agree?

I meant that DMAEngine uses
/sys/class/dma
 dmaYchannelX/
  attr1
  attr2
  …

layout.
