gcc-7 found an ancient bug in the loop driver, leading to a condition that is always false, meaning we ignore the contents of 'card->flags' here:
drivers/isdn/isdnloop/isdnloop.c:412:37: error: ?: using integer constants in boolean context, the expression will always evaluate to 'true' [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] This changes the braces in the expression to ensure we actually compare the flag bits, rather than comparing a constant. As Joe Perches pointed out, an earlier patch of mine incorrectly assumed this was a false-positive warning.
