The db_assert call checks whether the bus_num pointer is non-NULL, but does so after said pointer has been dereferenced by the assignment on the previous line. Thus the check is pointless & likely to have been optimised out by the compiler anyway. The check_args function is static & only ever called from the local file with bus_num being a pointer to an on-stack variable, so the check seems somewhat overzealous anyway. Simply remove it.
