It doesn't make much sense to leave the lcdfilter variable in the function if you're going to remove the if condition depending on it, since it only has one other use. However, It might have been the intention of the author of this code that this is setting to be changed at compile time (or runtime through a registry tweak) and have the code do the appropriate thing - in that case it would have been better to put the variable at the top of the file.
I actually have no idea. This was the smallest possible fix that addressed the coverity issue, but I agree that we need to do something with the lcdfilter variable.
Looking at the commits responsible for the lcdfilter assignment (028617b9) and the if check (45a081f1), I don't see anything that hints at why there's an if check with lcdfilter hardcoded. CCing the original author.
