The assignment of 0 to variable k is never read once we break out of
the loop, so the assignment is redundant and can be removed.

Colin,

Your patch is not wrong, but it fails to address a basic deficiency of this code 
snippet - when an error is detected, there is no attempt to either fix the 
problem or report it upstream. As the data returned will be garbage if this 
condition happens, we might as well replace the "break" with "return 0xFF", as 
well as deleting the "k = 0" line. Most of the callers of efuse_read_1byte() 
ignore the returned result when bits 0 and 4 are set, thus returning all 8 bits 
is not a bad fixup.

My suspicion is that this test is in the code merely to prevent an potential 
unterminated "while" loop, and that this condition is extremely unlikely to happen.

The function is also overly verbose with many
unnecessary rtlpriv->cfg->maps dereferences.

I'd've written it more like:
