Subject: [PATCH] mei: fix incorrect logical operator in if statement

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The current expression using the || operator is always true because
dev->dev_state cannot be equal to two different values at the same time.
Fix this by replacing the || with &&.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1463042 ("Constant expression result")

Fixes: 8d52af6795c0 ("mei: speed up the power down flow")
