I've read the code of the function whom that 'if' statement belongs to.
This function takes a pointer whose name is 'padapter' and this is has
global scope. I think that since fw_current_in_ps_mode is dereferenced by
the function adapter_to_pwrctl(padapter) it can and is indeed initialized
and modified in some other files of the driver.
That's why I'll leave the if statement as is now. If I am wrong there's
time to change it later in a future patch.
