It is not breaking anything. You'd have to call this function
mistakenly from a legacy machine desc or other non-DT boot path. It's
a question of how paranoid you are adding checks. IMHO, the BUG_ON is
quite pointless here. You are not likely to progress much further
anyway, and you won't see the BUG print because the serial port is not
up yet.
