this 2 checks are added for impossible cases. both values are checked for
existence in a signle caller of cgx_lmac_addr_get(). Please, do not add
defensive code for no reason. I didn't check other changes, but I believe they
are of the same quality coming from yet-anothener-anaylizing tool.

Please, provide stack traces if these checks are really needed.
