[PATCH] gpio: aspeed: fix compile testing warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

Gcc cannot always see that BUG_ON(1) is guaranteed to not
return, so we get a warning message in some configurations:

drivers/gpio/gpio-aspeed.c: In function 'bank_reg':
drivers/gpio/gpio-aspeed.c:244:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

Using a plain BUG() is easier here and avoids the problem.

Is the semantic of BUG() (and BUG_ON as well) to never return? If so, then 
just an idea: Is it possible to add some macro magic in BUG_ON(x) to fail 
compiling if x is compile-constant? Giving a hint the passed condition always 
fails, which indicates a problem, at least to me.

You can't fail with a BUG_ON(1) and try to do some error handling after that.

On most architectures and configurations yes, but not on some of
the minor architectures if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Not sure, that might not work well in cases where it's a compile-time
constant in some configurations but variable in others.

Right.

Traditionally when CONFIG_BUG was disabled, we would have continued
here, so that could have been intentional, but in any case a WARN_ON()
would have been more appropriate here.

Linus, can you plonk that on top of the patches in that topic branch
you created ?

I put it on top of my devel branch where I merged in the topic
branch.

As it's a fringe thing anyways I don't think we need to recreate the
topic branch for this.

Patch applied with Benjamin's ACK.
