[PATCH v2 06/13] exfat: remove the unreachable warning for cache miss cases

From: Chi Zhiling

Date: Thu Jan 08 2026 - 03:51:40 EST


From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@xxxxxxxxxx>

The cache_id remains unchanged on a cache miss; its value is always
exactly what was set by cache_init. Therefore, checking this value
again is meaningless.
