Subject: [PATCH] staging: gpib: Remove a dead condition in if statement
The variable `residue` is an unsigned int, also the function
`fluke_get_dma_residue` returns an unsigned int. The value of
an unsigned int can only be 0 at minimum.
The less-than-zero comparision can never be true.
Fix it by removing the dead condition in the if statement.
This issue was reported by Coverity Scan.
Report:
CID 1600782: (#1 of 1): Macro compares unsigned to 0 (NO_EFFECT)
unsigned_compare: This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value
is never true. residue < 0U.
Fixes: 55936779f496 ("staging: gpib: Add Fluke cda based cards GPIB driver")
