Why not returning 'false' and 'true'?

Are we not using 'u8' in the kernel?

and here. Also, I find the name 'i' a bit confusing in this context,
since it is not really a counter. What about 'cur', 'prefix_op' or
something of the sort?

Please do, as the previous, 'if ()'. A good checker for these kind of
things is the 'scripts/checkpatch.pl'...
