We test whether a bit is set in a mask here, which is correct
but gcc warns about it as it thinks it might be confusing:

drivers/isdn/isdnloop/isdnloop.c:412:37: error: ?: using integer constants in boolean context, the expression will always evaluate to 'true' [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]

This replaces the negation of an integer with an equivalent
comparison to zero, which gets rid of the warning.

The if as written can not be zero.

drivers/isdn/isdnloop/isdnloop.h:#define ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B1ACTIVE 1      /* B-Channel-1 is open           */
drivers/isdn/isdnloop/isdnloop.h:#define ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B2ACTIVE 2      /* B-Channel-2 is open           */

Perhaps this is a logic defect and should be:

		if (!(card->flags & ((channel) ? ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B2ACTIVE : ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B1ACTIVE)))

Yes, good catch. I had thought about it for a bit whether that would be
the answer, but come to the wrong conclusion on my own.

Note that the version you suggested will still have the warning, so I think
it needs to be

                 if (card->flags &
                    ((channel) ? ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B2ACTIVE :
ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B1ACTIVE)
                     == 0)

or something like that, probably having a temporary flag variable would be best:

          int flag =  channel ? ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B2ACTIVE :
ISDNLOOP_FLAGS_B1ACTIVE;
          if ((card->flags & flag) == 0)
                       return 0;
