Subject: staging: speakup: Replace BUG_ON() with WARN_ON().
From: Varsha Rao <rvarsha016@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit d351c2db5420bb17dcd2d9aac7ddb5f64c6d04b3 ]
BUG_ON() is replaced with WARN_ON() and EINVAL is returned, when
WARN_ON() is true. This fixes the following checkpatch issue:
Avoid crashing the kernel - try using WARN_ON & recovery code rather
than BUG() or BUG_ON().
