The important bit is to have the DMA_FROM_DEVICE check only once, as
we only do the registration for reads with either parameter.  So if
you want it more verbose the wya would be:

 	if (dir == DMA_FROM_DEVICE) {
		if (rdma_protocol_iwarp(dev, port_num))
			return true;
		if (dev->attrs.max_sgl_rd && dma_nents > dev->attrs.max_sgl_rd)
			return true;
	}
