Please use a full sentences with final dot. Always consider that the why 
is most important to answer. In your case the answer would be "because 
it is unnecessary" My preferred proposal would be:

Remove unnecessary parentheses to increase readability.

I am not so happy with this proposal I need to know the exact rules that 
the == has priority over &&. So I like to read it with brackets.

If you send in a second version of this patch please use a change 
history. Description from Dan under:
