Static analyzers report: drivers/hwmon/emc2305.c:194 emc2305_set_cur_state() warn: impossible condition '(val > 255) => (0-255 > 255)' 'val' is u8 and thus can never be larger than 255. In theory the operation calculating 'val' could result in a value larger than 255, but this won't happen because its parameter has already been range checked and it is guaranteed that the result never exceeds 255. Remove the unnecessary value check.
