It might be that this was supposed to be:

if((!(VBFlags & CRT1_LCDA)) || ((LCDwidth <= 800) && (LCDwidth >= 600))) {

But why would people write a range from high to low? That's crazy
people who write backwards code...

The second condition was supposed to do *something* although it's
unclear what. I would normally say that we should leave the static
checker warning here instead of guessing. Perhaps add a comment like
/* fixme: huh? What's with this nonsense condition? */ But in this
case it's all dead code because LCDwidth is always zero and the code
hasn't changed since 2.6.12 so I don't care.

regards,
dan carpenter
