Coverity complains that a constant variable guards dead code. In fact,
mpdu_buf is set NULL and never updated.
4834err_merge_fail:
null: At condition mpdu_buf, the value of mpdu_buf must be NULL.
dead_error_condition: The condition mpdu_buf cannot be true.
CID 92162 (#1 of 1): 'Constant' variable guards dead code (DEADCODE)
dead_error_line: Execution cannot reach the expression decap_format !=
DP_RX_DECAP_TYPE_RAW inside this statement: if (mpdu_buf && decap_forma....
Local variable mpdu_buf is assigned only once, to a constant value, making it
effectively constant throughout its scope. If this is not the intent, examine
the logic to see if there is a missing assignment that would make mpdu_buf not
remain constant.
4835 if (mpdu_buf && decap_format != DP_RX_DECAP_TYPE_RAW) {
Fix this by removing mpdu_buf and unreachable code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
