Maybe, but it generates the exact same object code (tested with
"make drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_ethtool.lst").

When I'm debugging, I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist when it comes
to operator precedence (& vs &&), and so, "A && B & C" doesn't read
particularly well to me, and would be one of my first suspects at
hiding a bug. I do know it would have worked in this case though,
and that modern gcc/clang usually complains about suspicious/
unintuitive precedence.
