Well I guess I should have read mails before pushing out a new -next ;-)
So this is now baked in. Should I revert or can we just fix up on top?

No problem, I can fix this on top.

But what do you prefer:

1. <=0 return and changing parameter permission from 600 to 400
2. dev_priv->fbc_enabled 
3. or check if fbc_no_reason was ever set? Although I don't like the fbc_no_reason and would like to clean it up in the future. But anyway, any option here is temporary until a proper rework for cleanup and real fix.
