[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: disable job timeout on GPU reset disabled

[Deucher, Alexander]

My concern was that compute will always have the timeout disabled with no way to override it even if you enable GPU reset.  I guess we can address that down the road.

Hi Evan,

that one is perfect if you ask me. Just reading up on the history of
that patch, Alex what was your concern with that?

Regarding printing this as error, that's a really good point as well. We
should probably reduce it to a warning or even info severity.

Regards,
Christian.
