I have also removed all the code that thereby serves no purpose.

This was found using a static code analysis program called cppcheck

Reading the MITE_LKAR(channel) register won't have any side-effects, so that call to readl() can be removed altogether. In previous versions of the driver, the value of lkar was only used in debugging messages.
