Static checkers complain about this because we do: if (!(connsw & E1000_CONNSW_SERDESD)) { ... } else if (connsw & E1000_CONNSW_SERDESD) { ... } else { ... }
Once you eliminate that E1000_CONNSW_SERDESD is set and not set then there aren't any other possibilities so the else statement is dead code. This function always returns zero so if you delete the "ret_val" variable, the code is shorter and more clear.
