Though you're right that here smcd_version never gets 0, it actually is 
a bug from ("42042dbbc2eb net/smc: prepare for SMC-Rv2 connection"). The 
purpose of the check here was to fallback at a early phase before 
calling smc_find_proposal_devices(). However, this change is not wrong, 
just I personally like adding a check for smc_ism_is_v2_capable() more.
