I am somewhat surprised that changes anything because the ASSERT is not
stopping control flow so I would expect the same problem as before. I
guess it does not happen perhaps due to inlining differences? I looked
at this code briefly when I sent my initial message and I was not sure
where such a check should exist. It does not look like these functions
really do any sort of error handling.

It may still be worth doing this to get some initial thoughts from the
AMD DRM folks.
