The device lost message seems to be some bug of the open source KMD or
the firmware.
When I disable runtime power management of the 13000000.gpu device,
this message does not appear, instead the following message appears and
the GPU can continue to accept jobs:
```
powervr 13000000.gpu: [drm] Received unknown FWCCB command 2abc0070
```

I'm now sure that it's a regression, it's now tracked at [1].
