I find a logical error in an if statement '(X & 0xfc) == 0x3' is always false
After pointing this out, Larry Finger informed what would be the correct one.
'(X & 0x3) == 0x3'

Where is the 0xfc that your converting?

This is already what it is, just say that you're replacing it with the
constant.

Hi
Quite right!
I found this error in some of the files. And after discussion with
Larry Finger and Peter Wu, it was decided that all files with this if
statement should change.
But of course I should update the comment to something more suitable.
Kind regards

Right, do not forget to use [PATCH v2] as prefix and adjust the subject
too as this is no longer just "cleaning up a statement that always
evaluates to false", but rather "fix [insert stuff here] mask" (for
the 0xfc cases). The commit message must describe why the change is
beneficial, see other commit messages for examples.
Kind regards,
Peter
