         Please review before sending.

The series focuses on providing a user readable error value on a failure
in drm_atomic_ioctl(). Usually -EINVAL is returned in most of the error
cases and it is difficult for the user to decode the error and get to
know the real cause for the error. If user gets to know the reason for
the error then corrective measurements can be taken up.

User will have to check for the capability
DRM_CAP_ATOMIC_ERROR_REPORTING before using this feature so as to ensure
that the driver supports failure reporting.

TODO: driver specific error codes are to be added and will be done in
the follow-up patches.

TODO: Once the series is merged the element 'reserved' used for sending
the failure code in struct drm_mode_atomic is to changed to err_code.
