[PATCH 0/5] drivers/mtd: make several functions return bool

[Yaowei Bai]

This series only make several funcitons return bool to improve
readability, no other funcitonal changes.

Yaowei Bai (5):
  drivers/mtd: mtd_is_partition can be boolean
  drivers/mtd: cfi_interleave_supported can be boolean
  drivers/mtd: map_bankwidth_supported can be boolean
  drivers/mtd: mtd_nand_has_bch can be boolean
  drivers/mtd/nand: nand_opcode_8bits can be boolean

[PATCH 1/5] drivers/mtd: mtd_is_partition can be boolean

[Yaowei Bai]

This patch makes mtd_is_partition return bool to improve
readability due to this particular function only using either
one or zero as its return value.

No functional change.

Hi Yao,
     Is that really necessary? I am not sure how much benefit we can 
achieve from this change.
Could you explain more?

Yes, according to these functions' name, a boolean return value is more
suitable and matchable.

Also personally think this change maybe benfit function's return value 
storage in the stack when called on certain architectures.

At least be honest, and say this is for your patchcount statistics :P.
I'm fine taking the NAND related ones, but please, next time find
something more useful to submit.

Best Regards,

On which archs? And what exactly is the benefit?
I agree that bool might be a better choice for new functions
but here you're touching existing and working(!) code.
The only outcome is git history pollution that makes git blame
less efficient.

Working code doesn't mean perfect code. :-)

I still think this's a helpful change even though it's small, but
you make the decision to merge or drop it.

Indeed, you raised a good point. Having useless changes pollute git
blame output may be problematic. Not sure I want to apply those patches
anymore :-/.

Anyway, Yao, I'm sure you can find other usefull things to contribute.
