Hmm... I think the problem here is that the complier can't know
whether qoriq_priv->type would change across intervening function
calls. Maybe a better solution is caching the type in a local
variable so that the compiler can tell that those two tests will
always move together? It generally isn't a good idea to clear
variables unnecessarily as that can hide actual bugs that compiler can
detect.

Thanks.
