The *switch* statement in otg_statemachine() does handle all possible OTG
states explicitly, so the *default* label is unreachable.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.

This patch is against the 'usb-next' branch of Greg KH's 'usb.git' repo.
Peter Chen's 'usb.git' repo seems outdated, so I chose to ignore it...

There is nothing wrong with leaving lines like this in the code to
handle any potential bugs.

Why do you think it needs to be removed?  What benefit does this patch
have?

   These lines as they are bring no value at all.
   Note that (as I said)  all the values of 'enum usb_otg_state' are
already handled with explicit *case* label...

And so now you will trigger the checkers that ask "you do not have a
default: line for your case statement!"

This is safer as is, please do not "clean up" things that are not
actually a problem.
