[PATCH RFC] comedi: rtd520: if condition with no effect - if identical to else

[Nicholas Mc Guire <der.herr@hofr.at>]

The if and the else branch code are identical - so the condition has no
effect on the effective code - this patch removes the condition and the
duplicated code.

Patch is against 3.19.0-rc4 -next-20150116

This patch was only compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_STAGING=y
CONFIG_COMEDI=m, CONFIG_COMEDI_PCI_DRIVERS=m, CONFIG_COMEDI_RTD520=m

commit c5930d66 (staging: comedi: rtd520: use the comedi_device 'mmio'
member) introduced the current code, the probably bug was though
present before this commit:

        if (devpriv->xfer_count > 0)    /* transfer every N samples */
                writew(IRQM_ADC_ABOUT_CNT, dev->mmio + LAS0_IT);
        else                            /* 1/2 FIFO transfers */
                writew(IRQM_ADC_ABOUT_CNT, dev->mmio + LAS0_IT);

as the if and else branch are identical but the comments indicate that 
they are serving different purposes this looks like a bug. The code has
though been in use in this form for more than 2 years - so maybe the
condition is simply unnecessary. In any case this needs a review
by someone who knows the details of the driver - the below patch
is only cleaning up the current situation and may thus be wrong.

...and how did this pass multiple modifications and reviews ?...
