Subject: query on fixing checkpatch BUG() variants warning

Hello,
I am participating in Outreachy program for Dec 2022. Could you please suggest
if I should explore resolving following checkpatch warning reported by
driver/stagning/most/*/*.c files?

Do not crash the kernel unless it is absolutely unavoidable--use WARN_ON_ONCE() plus recovery code (if feasible) instead of BUG() or variants


Thank you,
./drv
