We had a discussion yesterday about it on IRC with Sima, Simon and
Xaver.

https://oftc.irclog.whitequark.org/dri-devel/2024-07-16#33374622;

The conclusion was that it would create an inconsistency between drivers
on whether a given property is immutable or not, which will lead to more
troubles for userspace.

It's not clear why Ville added that check in the first place, so the
best course of action is to remove the IGT test and get the discussion
started there.
