But for a simple WARN_ON() call:

void test(unsigned long b)
{
	WARN_ON(b);
}

Without your change with GCC you get:

00000000000012d0 <.test>:
     12d0:	0b 03 00 00 	tdnei   r3,0
     12d4:	4e 80 00 20 	blr


With the !! change you get:

00000000000012d0 <.test>:
     12d0:	31 23 ff ff 	addic   r9,r3,-1
     12d4:	7d 29 19 10 	subfe   r9,r9,r3
     12d8:	0b 09 00 00 	tdnei   r9,0
     12dc:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
