I'm still confused why we don't need to return an error in this case?
We print the debug message here, but the function still returns 0
(success).  When we run skl_enable_plane_wm_levels(), it will disable
level 0 for that plane, which means we should be rejecting the whole
atomic flip (since this plane fails at all levels), but I don't see
anywhere that we actually check that again and trigger the failure?
