Paulo Zanoni 99da0b3539 drm/i915: WARN() if we can't lookup_power_well()
None of the current lookup_power_well() callers are actually checking
for NULL return values, they all just use the pointer right away.  The
first idea was to replace these theoretical segfaults with a BUG()
since this would at least make our code a little more explicit to the
reader. It was suggested that just converting the BUG() to a WARN()
and returning any power well would probably be better since it would
still keep the system running while at the same time exposing the
driver bug.

We can only hit this NULL/BUG()/WARN() condition if we try to lookup a
power well that isn't defined on a given platform. If that ever
happens, we have to fix our code, making it lookup the correct power
well. Because of this, I don't think it's worth trying to implement
error checking in every caller. Improving our CI system will be a
better use of our time once a bug is found in the wild.

v2: Avoid the BUG() with a WARN() return a random PW (Michal).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
