With Smatch, I ignore negative checks in this format.  It's obvious what
the intent is and they are harmless.  Patching them requires a little
review to make sure that someone isn't introducing a bug and can't be
done directly in the email client.

On the other hand, in Smatch I do complain about checks like:

        if (bp->bp_type > 4 || bp->bp_type < 0)

Because only backwards thinking people write checks like that.
