This last line is redundant, as it's part of the switch that reads:

switch (config.rx_filter) {
 case HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE: config.rx_filter = HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE;

that effectively reduces to:

if(x == a) x = a;

that is a no-op (provided 'x' is a usual memory reference),
and that is exactly what I've described in the commit log.

What do I miss?
