a slightly more concise version

The following pattern:

(
        i2c_set_clientdata(client, data);
    |
        data = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
    |
        T data = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
)

could probably be more concise as:

(
i2c_set_clientdata(client, data)
|
data = i2c_get_clientdata(client)
)

Note the lack of semicolons. The pattern data = i2c_get_clientdata(client) will also match the case of a variable declaration.
