runtime_config already denies any settings not in the 1,2 or 4bytes range -
the default-part should therefore never be reached. So if any other value
magically appears in the register and triggers the default-part, something is
seriously wrong. So my guess is, the BUG might be appropriate.

On the other hand the whole default+BUG part could also simply go away, for
the same reasons.

IMHO BUG() is not needed at all. As Linus suggested dev_err() is such case
or WARN_ON() would be more appropriate. This has been discussed in the past
extensively, not sure if you are aware of the other Linus' opinion on
BUG()/BUG_ON() proliferation: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/27/461
