I wondered if logging the suppressed errors would be of any use? Does
the check_cpu_fifo work if the reporting is disabled? Could we do a
manual check and DRM_DEBUG_KMS() if the enable did generate a failure.
If the check_cpu_fifo does work, won't we still get the error from the
added check in atomic_commit()?
