Corner cases, corner cases!

The 1/2 on there was accidentally, sorry. The use is in
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2019-June/220201.html,
but I figure you didn't need to get neck deep into Mali :)

It's just for an assert(), so I can get rid of it if this little patch
is too much to bikeshed ;) Just thought I'd try.

Hm. I'm not sure *is* the desired behaviour. In my case, (v == 0) is
special-cased anyway (see linked patch). Maybe not landing this is
easier to just avoid the can of worms.
