[PATCH] soc: ixp4xx: checkpatch fixes done in ixp4xx driver

This patch performs several code cleanups in the ixp4xx-npe driver to improve readability and better align with the kernel's coding style standards

The main changes include:
- Refactoring 'if' statements to separate assignments from the conditional check. This improves clarity and avoids potential confusion with the equality operator.
- Adjusting whitespace by adding spaces after the 'switch' keyword and within type casts.
- Removing unnecessary braces from a single-statement 'if' block.

No functional changes are introduced by this patch.
