No, this is not a correct fix. The ETNA_MAX_PIPES define does not
correspond to the pipe types, it's the number of maximum possible GPU
cores. Any code in the driver needs to deal with less GPU cores being
available than this maximum number. If it doesn't, please fix the code
instead of messing with this define.
