staging/dgap/dgap.c:981: bad if test ?

Hello there,

Thanks for the confirmation. More of the same in the same file:

[linux-3.19-rc5/drivers/staging/dgap/dgap.c:1022]: (warning) Logical disjunction always evaluates to true: module_type != 68 || module_type != 73.

Source code is

            if (module_type == 0 || module_type != PORTS ||
                module_type != MODEM) {

I used the static analyser cppcheck to find these two bugs, but
you might be able to find similar problems by using gcc compiler
flag -Wlogical-op.

Regards

David Binderman
