This is used in the submission path of several drivers.

Changing the error code will change what the drivers are reporting to

i915 doesn't use that function so it's not affected but 
lima/panfrost/vc4 seem to be.

I thought the plan was to add a new ioctl to query the last submitted value.

Did I misunderstand?
