As 'channel' is declared as u16, the following statement is always false.
   channel < 0

So we can remove unnecessary 'always false' statement.

    It's an expression, not a statement.

According to below link, it is okay to use 'statement' in above case.

Why don't you show your opition about patch rather than commit message?

Thanks,

I don't have time to start arguing about this, and I'm no C language
lawyer either, but all I say is that I agree with Sergei here.

But this comment is not ok. Patch review (including commit logs) is the
core principle of upstream development so you need to have an open mind
for all comments, even the ones you don't like.

Thanks for your opinion.
I will use 'expression' rather than 'statement' when I upstream
similar patch later.
