I edited the lines for clarity. The difference is that your repo does
a bitwise OR "| LNA_GAIN_AUTO" and the kernel.org code does a bitwise
"& LNA_GAIN_AUTO".

The kernel repo hasn't changed since you sent us the driver in commit
874bcba65f9a ('staging: pi433: New driver'). I agree that & doesn't
seem to make sense and I'm disapointed that it doesn't cause a Smatch
warning.

But LNA_GAIN_AUTO is zero so maybe | BIT(LNA_GAIN_AUTO) was intended
instead of | LNA_GAIN_AUTO. I don't know... No one on this list knows
the answer probably. :/
