Yes semantic patch did the changes to use preferred APIs,
And it also changed this BUG_ON(irq_set_handler_data(irq, &gic_data[gic_nr]) != 0)
But we have to take care that  condition has no side effects i.e.

if()/BUG conversion to BUG_ON must be avoided when there's side effect
in condition. The reason being BUG_ON won't execute the condition when CONFIG_BUG
is not defined As suggested by Julia Lawall

Thats why did not take that change  --> (BUG_ON(irq_set_handler_data(irq, &gic_data[gic_nr]) != 0))

Yes coccinelle semantic patches did not do that changes.
we have to choose whether to make BUG_ON conditional on some debug options.

Thanks,
