Is it safe to proceed with invalid offset? Debug message says it's out of
range, so might be we should just return with an error?

I would need to check the code, but good observation. I wanted to limit
the scope of this series explicitly to DBG_88E calls, but might be worth
changing this at the same time.


I think, this log without immediate return is not very useful. If code writes somewhere OOB it means bomb has been planted. And this message can be reworked as "hey, I've placed a small bomb somewhere, please, be ready".

I do not mean, that log is useless, I mean log without return is not very useful
