I do not think this check is necessary since if fifo_len is 0 we will not run
the for loop, right?

same here, I do not think pattern_len can be 0 since hw->sip must be greater
than 0 in order to enable the FIFO. Moreover, this check should be some lines
above since we have already divided fifo_len by pattern_len here.

for the reason above, this is not necessary.
