I think we need a debug message in here so people can figure out why
their fastboot failed with this patch included.  E.g. "some connected
outputs weren't enabled, falling back to old behavior".

Also note that this will probably always happen in certain configs, and
the fallback behavior won't be any better since we may not be able to
light up everything that's attached.

With those caveats:
