I'll apply this, but:

That's a lot of BUG* calls. Same thing with the 1/4 patch in this
series.

We really should not have a BUG call in any driver, as you just stopped
the whole system. I can understand this being there for debugging when
you create the code originally, but as these are things no one should
ever be able to hit now, you should remove them, right?

Care to write a follow-on patch removing all of these BUG_ON and BUG
calls in this and the drivers/memory/tegra20-mc.c driver?
