Subject[PATCH 0/4] use BUG_ON correctly, v4
Date
Most of BUG_ON() implementations use unlikely() internally for better
branch prediction results. The following method to use BUG_ON() with
an explicit unlikely() doesn't make things better and is unwelcome:
BUG_ON(unlikely(condition));
Source code should use BUG_ON() just with condition code.

For arch implementation of BUG_ON(), there are feed backs for v2 patch
set from MIPS and PowerPC developers than neither explicit no implicit
unlikely() does help anything.

Therefore using unlikely() explicit with BUG_ON() is always a bug. This
patch set removes all incorrect BUG_ON() usage.

Patch "Staging: wl_cfg80211.c: use BUG_ON correctly" is merged into
upstream (commit d7ddd169), no longer in v4 patch set. For v4
patch set, proper maintainers are added into Cc list by the help of
scripts/get_maintainer.pl.
