I just tried: For me a plain

	if (data)

is also enough to make both gcc and sparse happy.

(On a related note, sparse reports:

  CHECK   drivers/crypto/caam/jr.c
drivers/crypto/caam/jr.c: note: in included file (through arch/arm64/include/asm/io.h, include/linux/io.h, include/linux/irq.h, ...):
include/asm-generic/io.h:290:22: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)

Didn't look into that though.)
