In _rtl92c_get_txpower_writeval_by_regulatory() the variable writeVal is assigned to itself in an if ... else statement, apparently only to document that the branch condition is handled and that a previously read value should be returned unmodified.

As the branch condition does nothing, why not remove it and save the compiler's optimizer a bit of work? The code looks strange, but it matches the rest of Realtek's USB drivers.
