Subject: [PATCH] [media] bt8xx: Remove unnecessary self-assignment

Clang warns when a variable is assigned to itself.

drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c:2043:13: warning: explicitly
assigning value of variable of type '__s32' (aka 'int') to itself
[-Wself-assign]
        min_height = min_height;
        ~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~
1 warning generated.

There doesn't appear to be any good reason for this and this statement
was added in commit e5bd0260e7d3 ("V4L/DVB (5077): Bttv cropping
support") back in 2007. Just remove it.

I'm not sure if the comment should have been removed as well. If it
does, I can easily send a v2.

Thanks!
