BUG_ON() should be reserved in situations where we can not longer guarantee the integrity of the system. In the case where powernv_flash_async_op() receives an impossible op, we can still guarantee the integrity of the system.

Based on the fact that all three values in enum flash_op are handled, I would go as far as stating that the default lemma adds no value and can be removed. Frans
