So this pointer gets initialized in punit_atom_debug_init() and points
either to punit_device_byt or punit_device_cht.

So you happily increment the above pointer. So after the first readout
of that debug file the pointer will point to the end of that
table. And any further readouts will simply fail.

Completely useless and untested crap.
