clear below issues reported by checkpatch.pl:

CHECK: Using comparison to true is error prone

Signed-off-by: John Oldman <john.oldman@polehill.co.uk>
---
v1: Initial attempt.
v2: Removed unneccessary parentheses around 'pregistrypriv->ht_enable'
Also considered clearing 'CHECK: Logical continuations should be on the previous line' report
but this results in exceeding line length guideline.
