Variable ptr is being assigned a value from a calculation
however the variable is never read, so this redundant variable
can be removed.

Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning:

drivers/net/can/softing/softing_main.c:279:3: warning: Value stored to
'ptr' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

drivers/net/can/softing/softing_main.c:242:3: warning: Value stored to
'ptr' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

This is not 100% correct.

The variable ptr is read from, see a line directly above the line this
patch removes.

This patch doesn't remove the variable.

The clang warning is more precise: the value stored to ptr in the
calculations this patch removes is not used, so the calculation and the
assignment can be removed.
