Even if the compiler figures out its safe to store the access and reuse
it, its much more readable to use the local variable.

Also good cleanup.

I did notice the driver was inconsistent in whether it refers to this as
*plat or *plat_dat... Its slightly shorter to use *plat, but I do think
*plat_dat is a bit nicer to read.
