A return statement is unnecessarily complicated, currently value

required as the following statement is a return.

Yeah, not to mention that is really ugly as the return should really
have been:

return mask & ~ATA_MASK_UDMA;

Yep, I did think of that as the original intention, but two return statements one after the other was equally as ugly. It was a 50/50 choice of what was perceived as the better fix :-)

  }

Will queue this up.

Thank you.
