I don't think there is a point. IFAIK this code was added by Dmitry as
part of the hardware auto-detection changes. In that version the check
prevented a printk line when the touchpad was already in the correct
state. That printk is deleted anyway by this patch, so the check can
be removed. (Modulo weird hardware behavior, which can't be completely
ruled out because the driver is based largely on reverse engineering,
since no public docs are available.)
