Remove an unnecessary piece of code that does an endianness conversion but does not use the result. The following warning was reported by Clang's static analyzer: arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/ics-opal.c:114:2: warning: Value stored to 'server' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores] server = be16_to_cpu(oserver); 'server' was used as a parameter to opal_get_xive() in commit5c7c1e9444("powerpc/powernv: Add OPAL ICS backend") when it was introduced. 'server' was also used in an error message for the call to opal_get_xive(). 'server' was always later set by a call to ics_opal_mangle_server() before being used. Commitbf8e0f891a("powerpc/powernv: Fix endian issues in OPAL ICS backend") used a new variable 'oserver' as the parameter to opal_get_xive() instead of 'server' for endian correctness. It also removed 'server' from the error message for the call to opal_get_xive(). Fix the warning by removing the server variable assignment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
