Hi. Coverity points out (CID 1381483) that the "else" case here
is dead code, because the FRAMESZ_MASK of 0x1F means that size
cannot be 32 or more.

Paolo kindly checked up with the spec at
https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs373/readings/Actel_SmartFusion_MSS_UserGuide.pdf
which says that this register's field is bits [5:0] which
would imply an 0x3f mask is needed. On the other hand it also
says that "maximum value is 32", so what is the else clause
doing anyway?

thanks
