The commit message says you keep a runtime guard so malformed table data
does not become a NULL data dereference in non-debug builds, but there is
no such guard - ASSERT() compiles out and match->mask is then read from
NULL.

Given that IIDR 0x0201743b is not Renesas-specific as you mention in the cover
letter, this is a behavior changed and should be mentioned in the commit msg
(cover letter is not in git).
