: Parens you've added aren't necessary.

Yes, but I am OK with both variants.

Anyway, space before ; should be removed (just noticed).

: I suggest to add spaces after and before = in the first expression.

In that case, also the upper for() cycle should be modified
to match this. I don't think this is necessary.

As long as it doesn't cause complaints from scripts/checkpatch.pl...
