Subject: [PATCH][next] staging: rtl8723bs: hal: remove redundant assignment to packetType

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

Local variable packetType is being assigned a value that is never
read just before a return statement. The assignment is redundant
and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
