It appears that amdgpu makes the mistake of completely ignoring the return
values from the DP MST helpers, and instead just returns a simple
true/false. In this case, it seems to have come back to bite us because as
a result of simply returning false from
compute_mst_dsc_configs_for_state(), amdgpu had no way of telling when a
deadlock happened from these helpers. This could definitely result in some
kernel splats.
V2:
* Address Wayne's comments (fix another bunch of spots where we weren't
passing down return codes)

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.
