How is this equivalent?

The original code does:

    data = data->parent_data;
    data->chip->irq_eoi(data);

which is equivalent to:

    data->parent_data->chip->irq_eoi(data->parent_data);

while your change resolves to:

    data->chip->irq_eoi(data->parent_data);

Seriously?

I'm starting to get tired of your flood of half baken 'cleanup' patches.

Thanks,
