According to MIPS EJTAG Specification [1], a Debug Breakpoint
exception occurs when an SDBBP instruction is executed, the
CP0_DEBUG bit DBp indicates that a Debug Breakpoint exception
occurred, just check bit DBp for SDBBP is more accurate.

IMHO both implementations are doing the same thing.

When I read the original code, it looks a little confusing
at first glance, the initial aim of this patch is to make the code
more readable and easier to understand.
