Hmm. I don't like the fact that these messages won't be visible to
users in dmesg unless they're debugging. This change puts the SoC in a
potentially unsafe state. Perhaps we should print a ratelimited
message in the logs that we're operating outside safety limits?

Get rid of this hunk, it is unrelated to the above change.
