OK, granted. But some guidance would be welcome here. For clean-up work like
this, do you want a patch that const-corrects one function, a patch that const
corrects all functions in a file, or a patch that const corrects all functions
in a module? Is it OK to do const and static correction in the same change? Is
it OK to do const, static, and dead-code in a single file?

Actually it's get only. I can label what's what in the commit messages.

It looks like this change got squished together with something else when it was
pushed to staging. I've asked to Oleg check. In the original change,
sai_in_readpage was never set. Hence it was easy to see that the if statement
was dead code. Sorry for the confusion.
Best,
