Subject: [PATCH] input: synaptics-rmi4: check for non zero version logically dead code

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

version is a u8, the check for version > 0 means that version can only
be zero, so the subsequent check for version != 0 is never true and
hence is redudant code and can be removed.
