This is done explicitly for clarity, in order to make it clear that the
value is a pointer rather than being (say) an integer.  The value is the
same as you say but that's only clear if the reader realizes that data
is an array.  If I were clarifying this I'd change to explicitly take
the address of the first element of the array rather than the array as
a whole.

This is a style change rather than a fix.
