I suspect on newer devices we have trouble resetting the GMU, leading
to (what I assume is happening here) the CPU thinking the GMU is in a
different state than it is.

Which has led to some stability issues on a660 in mesa CI, if anything
crashes the gpu in the CI run it tends to kill the rest of the run
until the board is power cycled.

I think we have some work to do on making recovery more robust on
things newer than early a6xx things.
