Subject: [BUG ?] rtlwifi: rtl8723be: condition with no effect

From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>                                      

scanning for trivial bug-patters with coccinelle spatches returned:
./drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/dm.c:886
	WARNING: condition with no effect (if branch == else)

Added in 'commit a619d1abe20c ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add new driver")'

drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/dm.c - line numbers from 4.1-rc7
886         if (thermalvalue > rtlefuse->eeprom_thermalmeter)                  
887                 rtl8723be_dm_tx_power_track_set_power(hw, BBSWING, 0,
888						 	index_for_channel);
889         else
890                 rtl8723be_dm_tx_power_track_set_power(hw, BBSWING, 0,
891							index_for_channel);

Can't figure out what the intent of this condition is but it currently has
no effect as if == else and this most likely is not the intent.

thx!
