Currently, we modify the depth value stored in the atomic state when performing a commit in order to workaround the fact we haven't implemented support for depths higher then 10 yet. This isn't idempotent though, as it will happen every atomic commit where we modify the OR state even if the head's depth in the atomic state hasn't been modified. Normally this wouldn't matter, since we don't modify OR state outside of modesets, but since the CRC capture region is implemented as part of the OR state in hardware we'll want to make sure all commits modifying OR state are idempotent so as to avoid changing the depth unexpectedly. So, fix this by simply not writing the reduced depth value we come up with to the atomic state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
