    I still say this is absolutely crazy. If a bus does not get registered,
    what happens to all the devices and drivers which are registered against
    that bus?

    I suspect that if this bus_register doesn't work, you'll see an oops
    sooner or later. So it might as well be a BUG_ON here.
