In previous reply you said that these fwspec checks are borrowed from
the arm-smmu driver, but I'm now looking at what other drivers do and I
don't see them having this check.

Hence I'm objecting the need to have this check here. You either should
give a rational to having the check or it should be removed.

Please never blindly copy foreign code, you should always double-check it.
