As mentioned in a previous reply, I couldn't enable debugging during
stress testing because it had the annoying effect of hiding the audio
breakage issue.  I will try to experiment with some more targeted
instrumentation and see if it's possible to extract some useful data.

Regardless, I think it's worth keeping this check in place as it's
definitely helpful to spot potential FW issues (for current or future
products).
