[PATCH][next] counter: microchip-tcb-capture: remove ATMEL_TC_ETRGEDG_NONE bit check

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The macro ATMEL_TC_ETRGEDG_NONE is defined as 0 << 8 which is zero and
hence the check cmr & ATMEL_TC_ETRGEDG_NONE can never be true. Since
*action is already assigned MCHP_TC_SYNAPSE_ACTION_NONE then this check
and set is redundant dead code and can be removed.

The CMR value should be explictly checked for an ATMEL_TC_ETRGEDG_NONE
state; this code shouldn't default to a value, but rather return an
error if no valid can be determined.

I think this would be better implemented as a switch statement instead,
with a default case that returns such an error code.
