Yes.

If this bit of code is especially performance sensitive,
there are times when using | instead of || can be an
overall speed improvement.  I haven't looked at this
code before so I don't know what's appropriate here but
using || might be more sensible though possibly slower.

Feel empowered to make the code better.  Do what's right.
Don't just correct mindless checkpatch error messages.
