From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The macro ATMEL_TC_ETRGEDG_NONE is defined as 0 << 8 which is zero and hence the check cmr & ATMEL_TC_ETRGEDG_NONE can never be true. Since *action is already assigned MCHP_TC_SYNAPSE_ACTION_NONE then this check and set is redundant dead code and can be removed.
