I was actually trying to understand the implementation of this module to
determine if I can replace BUG_ON calls by WARN_ON_ONCE. A "ctrl+]" navigation
took me to this function and I started wondering about why the function call
would be necessary. Hence the change.

While reading the Documentation under dim2 directory, I realised this module may
need a specialised hardware for testing [automotive???]. Hence I was not sure
how to test the same.

Are you suggesting I mention this in the patch description (the motivation)?

Thank you,
