This check is unnecessary because range_table will always be
initialized to range_unknown by comedi_device_postconfig() for
drivers that do not initialize range_table or range_table_list

(Further down this `for` loop, the NULL-ness test on `s->range_table_list` is also technically redundant, but I think the code is clearer with the check left in, and is safer in a defensive way.)
