[PATCH][mtd-next] mtd: nand: remove redundant check of len

From: Colin King
Date: Wed Dec 13 2017 - 15:18:14 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The check of len being zero is redundant as it has already been
sanity checked for this value at the start of the function. Hence
it is impossible for this test to be true and so the redundant
code can be removed.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1462748 ("Logically dead code")
