Maybe I misunderstand you here. However, in this way EINVAL is
returned to drm_atomic_check_only() and not to the SR code.

And this means that this check will not trigger at all, if I'm not
mistaken. You've added code to msm_atomic_check(), so
drm_self_refresh_helper_alter_state() was not called (yet) and thus
new_crtc_state->self_refresh_active is set to false, fresh after
crtc's duplicate_state.
