The bug has been there forever (even in the "out-of-tree" version from
comedi.org, where I have just fixed it). There have been patches applied
to reformat and remove the incorrect bits of code, including
a142785d7c9d ("Staging: comedi: das1800: fixed multiple brace coding
style issues and pointer declaration style errors") and 82d28561b7e0
("staging: comedi: Remove if condition."). The latter patch,
82d28561b7e0, mainly served to hide the bug further!
