Subject: [PATCH][next] mt76: mt7921: remove redundant check on variable type

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

In the switch statement case where type is NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION
there is a check for type != NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION which is always
false and hence it is redundant dead code and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code")
Fixes: e0f9fdda81bd ("mt76: mt7921: add ieee80211_ops")
