No it doesn't, at least not for constants, which is the entirety of
this patch: the compiler can find the value at compile time, so the
whole lot becomes a load immediate of a single value. Whether the
compiler sees OR or + is immaterial to the compile time computation.
Perhaps Coccinelle should be fixed not to complain about this case?
