This is an error condition the driver reports (asynchronously) if a
modeset request by userspace/client failed. It would be incorrect not to
report this error, leaving the output in a blank, enabled state.

I think that userspace/client should handle such failures - in the
above case a buggy sink - by disabling the output.
