Please don't put this sort of comments in the commit message.  You can
put it under the --- cut off

here.  Then it will be removed instead of going into the permanent git
log.

Please always say int the commit message how the patch will affect the
runtime behavior of the kernel.  In this case it will not affect it at
all.  It's just a clean up.  Her is my proposed commit message if you
want:

Subject: [PATCH] staging: media-atomisp : silence "dubious: !x | !y" warning

Upon running sparse, "warning: dubious: !x | !y" is brought to notice
for this file.  Logical and bitwise OR are basically the same in this
context so it doesn't cause a runtime bug.  But let's change it to
logical OR to make it cleaner and silence the Sparse warning.
