[lvc-project] [PATCH net] cxgb4: Remove the if-else block to avoid overwriting

From: Gleb Markov <markov.gi at npc-ksb.ru>

Depending on the value of chip_version, the correct decode set is selected.
However, the subsequent matching with the t4 encoding type in the if-else
block results in a reassignment, which leads to the loss of support for
t6_decode as well as reinitializing of values t4_decode and t5_decode.

The component history shows that the change did not affect the if-else
block that previously used for this purpose, and the execution order
suggests that the scenario with overwriting and loss of support will be
implemented.

Delete the if-else block.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
