With job recovery becoming optional, syncpoints may have a mismatch

set the max value to the current value of the syncpoint so that it
is in a sane state for the next user.

Please note that the sync point state actually needs to be completely
reset at the sync point request-time because both downstream fastboot
and upstream u-boot [1] are needlessly enabling display VBLANK interrupt
that continuously increments sync point #26 during of kernel boot until
display controller is reset.

[1] https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/drivers/video/tegra.c#L155

Hence once sync point #26 is requested, it will have a dirty state. So
far this doesn't have any visible effect because sync points aren't used
much.


Maybe we can instead reserve syncpoints that might be used by the boot chain, and only allow allocating them once the display driver has acked that the syncpoint will no longer be incremented? That way if the display driver is disabled for some reason we'll still be fine.

Looking at the downstream driver, it (still, on new chips..) reserves the following syncpoints:

- 10 (AVP)
- 22 (3D)
- 26 (VBLANK0)
- 27 (VBLANK1)

and says that this applies to T20, T30, T114 and T148.

I suppose if you haven't observed this happening to other syncpoints than 26, then reserving 26 would probably be enough.
