Why we need use BUG_ON() here? Based on [1], we should avoid to use
the
BUG_ON() due to it will panic the machine.

Yea, you are probably right. All the rest of this checker uses BUG_ON()
though. Maybe they should all be something else? Just felt weird to
have this be the only check that is different.

I don't have any objections to changing it to WARN_ON(). Should I
switch the rest of the checks here while I'm at it?

Yes. I think in most situation, WARN_ON() or WARN_ON_ONCE() is ok.
