You need to put { 0, NULL } at the end of primary_assets_flag_coding & asset_type_coding, 
i.e:

static const value_string primary_assets_flag_coding[] = {                                                                  
    { 0, "Returns assets within the collapsed/collection/group asset" },                            
    { 1, "Returns the primary assets " },
    { 0, NULL }
};
