Yes, that looks better to me.

You can even simplify it to this:

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!info || irq != info->i2c_dev->irq))
	return IRQ_NONE;

I don't know if it matters here but if it's important to know which test
is failing having two different tests makes that easier, as the line
number will be different:

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!info))
	return IRQ_NONE;

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(irq != info->i2c_dev->irq))
	return IRQ_NONE;
