Subject: [PATCH 4.4 003/134] staging: speakup: Replace BUG_ON() with WARN_ON().

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Varsha Rao <rvarsha016@...il.com>


[ Upstream commit d351c2db5420bb17dcd2d9aac7ddb5f64c6d04b3 ]

BUG_ON() is replaced with WARN_ON() and EINVAL is returned, when
WARN_ON() is true. This fixes the following checkpatch issue:

Avoid crashing the kernel - try using WARN_ON & recovery code rather
than BUG() or BUG_ON().
