If a value is absent, you can either default it to Y (then the value is
!addr->has_xyz || addr->xyz) or default it to N (then the value is
addr->has_xyz && addr->xyz).

The desired logic is:

- with one absent value and one "on", the absent value should be "off"

- with one absent value and one "off", the absent value should be "on"

- with two absent values, the absent values can be both left absent

The patch works like this:

This handles the case where the absent value should be "off": at least
one value is present _and_ true.

This handles the case where the absent value should be "on".  We know
that whichever the present value is, it is false; therefore
!addr->has_xyz || addr->xyz simplifies to just !addr->has_xyz.

Did you test the patch, and did it work for you?  If so, it is customary
to reply with a line like "Tested by: Sair, Umair <address@hidden>".

Can you send a patch for it?

Thanks!
