Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: wireless: rtlwifi: rtl8723be: hw.c: Cleaning up if
 statement that always evaluates to false

Hi

Quite right!
I found this error in some of the files. And after discussion with
Larry Finger and Peter Wu, it was decided that all files with this if
statement should change.

But of course I should update the comment to something more suitable.


Kind regards
Rickard Strandqvist
