Please don't add BUG_ON()'s for non-critical things like this.

I know memory allocation isn't expected to fail during boot, but don't
make people's life harder by BUG'ing.

Ideally you'd just return failure to the caller and eventually we'd
print a message at some higher level. In a case like this where the
function returns void, rather than restructuring everything to pass
a return value you can just do:

if (WARN_ON(!tbl))
	return;
