Subject: [PATCH][V2] wimax/i2400m: remove debug containing bogus calculation of index

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

The subtraction of the two pointers is automatically scaled by the
size of the size of the object the pointers point to, so the division
by sizeof(*i2400m->barker) is incorrect.  This has been broken since
day one of the driver and is only debug, so remove the debug completely.

Also move && in condition to clean up a checkpatch warning.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Extra sizeof expression")

V2: completely remove debug, clean up checkpatch warning, change subject line
