Hi,

Static analysis on linux-next with Coverity has detected an issue in
rz_ssi_stop, sound/soc/sh/rz-ssi.c with the following commit:

commit 03e786bd43410fa93e5d2459f7a43e90ff0ae801

ASoC: sh: Add RZ/G2L SSIF-2 driver


The analysis is as follows:

367
368 /* Wait for idle */
369 timeout = 100;
370 while (--timeout) {

Wrong operator used (CONSTANT_EXPRESSION_RESULT)

operator_confusion: rz_ssi_reg_readl(ssi, 4) | (33554432UL /* 1UL << 25
*/) is always 1/true regardless of the values of its operand. This
occurs as the logical operand of if.

371 if (rz_ssi_reg_readl(ssi, SSISR) | SSISR_IIRQ)
372 break;
373 udelay(1);
374 }

I suspect the & operator was intended to mask the specific bit. However
I'm not sure if the intent is to detect if the SSISR_IIRQ bit should be
zero or one at the point where the break should occur, hence I'm
reporting this issue.
