For both cases above should we WARN_ON_ONCE() if we encounter such a case ?

Irrespective of that,

WARN_ON_ONCE() would also be valid, albeit very blunt.  Those
functions are user space triggered and returning -EINVAL will stop
everything - the end result is the same.  I suppose that on such
condition fighting back with a backtrace will force people to pay
attention or report the problem.

We do necessary checks to route the caller here, so we shouldn't really
hit the condition with the tmc_read_prepare(). So WARN_ON_ONCE() might be a
good check to make sure we don't hit it from say, perf driver or something
really went bad under the hood (corrupted ?). I am not too particular about it.
