There is no general preference, up to you.

It's subjective - in some places ternary is really complicating, from my
other patch:

	data & XCSI_DLXINFR_SOTERR ? "true" : "false",
	video->hq_mode ? "on" : "off", video->jpeg_hq_quality);

note that's ternary is split here:

	dstat & BT848_DSTATUS_HLOC
	? "yes" : "no");

I understand if you don't find the code here better.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
