I have tried the normal flow:
1. Client driver suspend: Flush command.
2. CMDQ driver suspend: There is no command to flush. If there are
command, show error message and debug the client driver.

Then I found the cmdq task of crtc_1 is still executing when
cmdq_suspend sometimes. I think it is the latest async cmd sent in
mtk_drm_crtc_disable.
So I'll try to change it to blocking cmd and see the issue is still
happened or not.

If it works, then I'll revert this patch and send add blocking cmd in
mtk_drm_crtc_disable at the next version.
