That line produces a compiler warning.  The line can be removed as the 
call to be32_to_cpu() has no side-effects.  The "/* get the state ..." 
comment line can also be removed as it is only associated with this line.

Perhaps Bernd intended to use dio_state for something here, but I'm not 
sure what.
