No, though the code would be clearer like:
---
diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/eeprom.c b/drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/eeprom.c
index 5bd35c147e19..233fa072d96d 100644
--- a/drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/eeprom.c
+++ b/drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/eeprom.c
@@ -867,10 +867,8 @@ int p54_parse_eeprom(struct ieee80211_hw *dev, void *eeprom, int len)
 					 "test!\n");
 				err = -ENOMSG;
 				goto err;
-			} else {
-				goto good_eeprom;
 			}
-			break;
+			goto good_eeprom;
 		default:
 			break;
 		}
