Subject: [PATCH][next] char: ipmi: remove redundant variable 'type' and check

The variable 'type' is assigned the value SI_INVALID which is zero
and later checks of 'type' is non-zero (which is always false). The
variable is not referenced anywhere else, so it is redundant and
so is the check, so remove these.
