net/batman-adv/gateway_client.c:813:31: warning: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of comparison [-Wlogical-not-parentheses]

gw_node = batadv_gw_node_get(bat_priv, orig_dst_node);
if (!gw_node->bandwidth_down == 0)
    goto out;

I think this was meant to be:

if (!gw_node || (gw_node->bandwidth_down == 0))

Function batadv_gw_node_get can return NULL, so there's a missing sanity check there and maybe the if condition can be reworked for clarity.
