The worst that happens in this slim scenario is we miss a warning.

When I authored this, I did so as *the* fix. However, since the cause of today's crash has now been patched, this has become a belt and braces solution. Michael's addition of the WARN() also has the benefit of providing us with an early warning system for future breakages. Personally, I think it's kinda neat. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Principal Technical Lead - Developer Services Linaro.org │ Open source software for Arm SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
