Describe the bug
When CONFIG_ASSERT=y is enabled in build (e.g. with #6530), assert is hit in multiple test cases with sof-test and on multiple platforms.

To Reproduce
Apply #6530 , run sof-test.

Reproduction Rate
100%

Expected behavior
Asserts should not be hit!

Impact
Unable to enable CONFIG_ASSERT in CI by default due to many failures.
