Subject: [PATCH] staging: iio: accel: remove impossible condition

val is set to the value of ret right after ret is checked. If ret is not
zero it goes to error_ret. So only value ret can have is zero, which makes
the switch (val & 0x03) only match the case 0x00. Removing the switch and
since val is only used for this, removing val as well.
