The else-if arm taken for RX-only and full-duplex transfers and the
trailing else arm in the RX bookkeeping setup of ax_transfer_one()
have identical bodies, so the second condition has no effect:

  drivers/spi/spi-axiado.c:433:8-10: WARNING: possible condition with
  no effect (if == else)

The trailing else arm (neither TX nor RX buffer) is also unreachable:
the SPI core only calls the ->transfer_one() callback for transfers
that carry at least one buffer, see spi_transfer_one_message().

Merge the two arms into a single else branch and fold their comments.
No functional change. The redundant condition has been present since
the driver was added in commit e75a6b00ad79 ("spi: axiado: Add driver
for Axiado SPI DB controller").
