[PATCH] ata: pata_ali: remove redundant return statement

From: Colin Ian King
Date: Wed Jan 12 2022 - 18:47:53 EST


A return statement is unnecessarily complicated, currently value
in variable mask is bitwise-masked and the variable is being
updated and then returned. Just updating the mask is all that is
required as the following statement is a return.
