It's added in the previous patch where I explained that this is
to detect data corruption. When something like that happens, it
would be often illogical.

BUG_ON is discouraged following the coding style:

I see it as a precaution that should never get triggered. But in
case that it happens, I don't want it to proceed further wasting
precious HW resource given that this function allocates a VINTF.
