Just as a follow-up to that one. stack_present=0x00000007 on my GPU.

However, the ARM-provided driver I use on this platform doesn't have
CONFIG_MALI_CORESTACK enabled so the "stack" is never turned on.
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/chromeos-4.19/drivers/gpu/arm/midgard/Kconfig#101
. So possibly this does not need to be done on Bifrost GPUs (and the
error should be harmless).
