[net-next 1/7] e1000e: remove test that is always false

From: Jeff Kirsher <hidden>
Date: 2012-02-09 10:28:10
Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Bruce Allan <redacted>

warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false

Remove an unnecessary test that is reported when compiling driver with W=1.
The test is unnecessary because Intel wired GbE hardware older (i.e. less)
than 82571 is not supported by this driver.
