The firmware ready value is 1, and get firmware ready status
function should explicitly test for that value. The firmware
ready value read will be 2 after driver load, and on unbind
till firmware rewrites the firmware ready back to 0, the value
seen by driver will be 2, which should be regarded as not ready.

"status == FW_STATUS_READY" is already the bool value you want. You
don't need to use the ternary operator here.

In some abnormal cases, the driver can read the firmware ready status as 2. Hence this need for explicitly checking if status
is indeed 1 or not. If it is 2, the function should understand it as the firmware is not ready. (It has to be strictly 1 for the driver
to understand it as ready)

I'm not disputing that. I'm saying that this:
  return (status == FW_STATUS_READY) ? true : false;
is equivalent to:
  return status == FW_STATUS_READY;

Oh got it! Thanks for the catch, will correct and send it now.
