Hi,

There is problem with gem_exec_nop throwing gpu hang with GPU HANG:
ecode 9:0:0xfffffffe on some skls. Looks like faster ones are
more suspectible.

My bisect pointed to this commit. As this looks like commit
to fix the loading, one could assume that at this point the firmware
started to actually do something.

So my failure hypothesis is that our driver runtime power well
bookkeeping and handover to dmc is racy. Lots of speculation here but
i suspect that during initialization, when the gpu is busy with the
workarounds and null state batch, handover to dmc happens
and something bad with it, like render side power toggles
while the dmc initializes?

I haven't yet tested the redesign series for cure/clue, but changing
the firmware from 1.19 to 1.21 makes it very hard to reproduce
the issue.

On a related note, we need the firmware version to be part of
error state. Also the driver could warn if not-new-enough firmware
is found, to atleast push the unlucky bisecter to a right
direction.
