Betreff: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: core: remove redundant zero'ing of counter variable k

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

The zero'ing of counter variable k is redundant as it is never read
after breaking out of the while loop. Remove it.

IMHO this is confusing to read, i suggest:

 for(k=0;k<1000;k++) {
      Bytetemp = rtw_read8(Adapter, EFUSE_CTRL+3);
      if ( Bytetemp & 0x80 )
               break;
      }

 NTL is am wondering what will happen if k==1000
 and Bytetemp is still invalid. Will rtw_read8() fail or
 simply return invalid data ?

                return rtw_read8(Adapter, EFUSE_CTRL);
