[PATCH v2 1/3] drm/nouveau/fifo/nv04: filter benign CACHE_ERROR from Mesa NV50 bind probe

From: Marek Czernohous <[email protected]>

The Mesa userspace driver issues a method-0x0060 / data-0xbeef02xx
binding probe on Tesla GPUs that ends up triggering CACHE_ERROR in the
PFIFO interrupt handler. The probe is harmless and recovers cleanly,
but it floods dmesg at error level on every X/Wayland session start.

Filter that specific pattern down to debug level so dmesg stays clean
while real CACHE_ERROR conditions are still logged at error level.

Tested on an Apple Mac mini Late 2009 (MCP79, NVAC 0xac080b1): dmesg has
no CACHE_ERROR spam during normal operation, the previously visible
beef02xx pattern now only appears at debug level.
