Subject: [PATCH][media-next] media: ddbridge/sx8: remove redundant check of iq_mode == 2

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

The check for irq_mode == 2 occurs is always false and hence flags
is always zero.  This is because the check occurs in a path where
irq_mode is >= 3. Clean up the code by removing the check and irq_mode
and just pass 0.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1472214 ("Logically dead code")
