I think they do make sense. For example, if somebody calls this function
and tries to set the switch to VENC on an OMAP that doesn't have VENC,
something is wrong. Your new version just skips the register write in
that case, which is ok, but I think we should also yell that something
is wrong.

I'd have the BUG_ONs there, but change them to WARN_ON. I think we
should generally try to have less BUGs and more WARNs. Also, please keep
the comment about the bits being written (VENC_HDMI_SWITCH), it helps to
understand the code.
