Are you sure it is a typo, not a feature ?

At the moment the generated code is:

      6f4:       7f 89 48 38     and     r9,r28,r9
      6f8:       7f aa 50 38     and     r10,r29,r10
      6fc:       7d 29 53 79     or.     r9,r9,r10
      700:       40 82 ff bc     bne     6bc <core99_usb_enable+0x1c0>

With your patch it now is:

      6f8:       7f 89 48 38     and     r9,r28,r9
      6fc:       7f aa 50 38     and     r10,r29,r10
      700:       7d 29 53 78     or      r9,r9,r10
...
      708:       2f 89 00 00     cmpwi   cr7,r9,0
      70c:       40 9e ff b8     bne     cr7,6c4 <core99_usb_enable+0x1c8>

So with your patch the code is doing exactly the same but is less optimal.

0 || 0 ==> 0
0 || !0 ==> 1
!0 || 0 ==> 1
!0 || !0 ==> 1

0 | 0 ==> 0
!0 | 0 ==> !0
0 | !0 ==> !0
!0 | !0 ==> !0

In both case it is only false when the two sides are 0 otherwise it is true.

Usually a logic OR does the same as a boolean OR but is more optimal.
