drm_atomic_helper.c has some protection against buggy hardware in drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies,
where it waits for previous updates to complete. The problem is in kms_flip one of the tests does a dpms off with the gpu wedged,
which means it has to wait for the full gpu reset to kick in. This will definitely take longer than 10s, so it times out and continues.

Of course the test is buggy now. What it did won't work any more with atomic doing a full modeset during dpms, but there's a real issue there and I'm uncertain of the solution.
