[Skiboot] [PATCH] npu2/hw-procedures: Remove assertion from check_credits()

[Reza Arbab]

The RX clock mux in the NVLink PHY can glitch, which will manifest in
hard to diagnose behavior--at best, a checkstop during the first link
traffic. The only reliable way we found to detect this was by checking
for a discrepancy in the credits we expect to receive during link
training.

Since the time the check was added, we've found that

* Commit ac6f1599ff33 ("npu2: hw-procedures: Add phy_rx_clock_sel()")
does work around the original glitch.

* Asserting is too harsh. Before root cause was established, it was
thought this could have been a manufacturing defect and we wanted to
loudly fail hardware acceptance boot cycle tests.

* It seems there is a valid situation in which credits are off from
the expected value. During GPU hot reset, a CPU prefetch across the link
can affect the credit count before we check.

Given all of the above, remove the assert().
