No, ideally we should light the pipe up and tell userspace through some
uevent that something bad has happened. Especially with async commits
failing to light up the pipe looks to userspace like the kernel just
randomly disabled it. And that usually results in random crashes when the
next flip or vblank wait fails and everything comes crashing down. And
even if we wouldn't -EINVAL these userspace would still have a problem
since the flip or vblank it wants to wait for simply never happens and
then it's just stalled.

We've had tons of problems with this in the past, and therefore removed
all the in-kernel sources for shutting down a pipe. E.g. DP re-training
also forces the pipe to on again, even if it fails.

Yup dp mst is an exception and I need to fix it eventually.

Cheers, Daniel
