Yes, this is a dead code we should remove it.

This code was part of moisture detection logic which is not enabled in 
upstream code yet.

During Moisture detection if the PA is on then we switch it off and do 
moisture measurements and at the end of the function we restore the 
state of PA.

No, It does not.

Have you even tested this patch in anyway?

Just remove this dead code.
