Yes and no. As I tried to describe in my previous mail the naming of the 
enum values is also not very good.

See even when the job has completed we need to restart the timer for the 
potential next job.

Only when the device is completely gone and unrecoverable we should not 
restart the timer.

I suggest to either make this an int and return -ENODEV when that 
happens or rename the enum to something like DRM_SCHED_NODEV.

Regards,
Christian.
