With the current code this is the only case that hits.
So coverity is right that if we hit other cases that would result in a
bug. But kmb_plane->id will for now not have other values than 0.

So it is a subtle false positive.
There is some "dead" code here - but this is in preparation for more
than one layer and we will keep the code for now, unless Anitha chimes
in and says otherwise.
