Yes, this is the motivation for Yoda conditionals. But it only
makes sense if you don't have a compiler with a sensible
warning configuration. For QEMU you will get an error if you
write "dev = NULL" :
error: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value
[-Werror=parentheses]
so we don't need to get people to contort their code like this.
