Move the simple exit cases, i.e. those which don't depend on the value written, earlier in the function. That makes it clearer that regardless of the input those states cannot be transitioned out of. That does have a user-visible effect, in that the error returned will now always be EPERM/ENODEV for those states, regardless of the value written. Previously writing an invalid value would return EINVAL even when in those states.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
