[PATCH v2 17/17] drm/panthor: Add a debugfs knobs to simulate reset failures
From: Boris Brezillon
Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 06:21:24 EST
It's almost impossible to trigger a situation where the reset
doesn't work now that the driver is more mature, so let's add two
knobs to exercise this error path:
- a knob to trigger a reset
- a knob to fake an error in the reset path
