just ignore that thought. I thought it was not useful after we
got the devcoredump, but you just showed a good case to keep.

what I mean now is to just keep one version of it, or keep that
simple error capture, or the one that you are proposing, but not both.
and with a dedicated config like this CONFIG_DRM_XE_SIMPLE_ERROR_CAPTURE
instead of the reuse of the generic debug config like you had here.
