For ternary operators in the form of "a ? true : false", if 'a' itself
returns a boolean result, the ternary operator can be omitted. Remove
redundant ternary operators to clean up the code.

Quoting documentation:

  Clean-up patches
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Netdev discourages patches which perform simple clean-ups, which are not in
  the context of other work. For example:

  * Addressing ``checkpatch.pl`` warnings
  * Addressing :ref:`Local variable ordering<rcs>` issues
  * Conversions to device-managed APIs (``devm_`` helpers)

  This is because it is felt that the churn that such changes produce comes
  at a greater cost than the value of such clean-ups.

  Conversely, spelling and grammar fixes are not discouraged.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#clean-up-patches

Looks good to me but a minor comment - include net-next in the subject
Thanks,
