Hm, this sounds a bit like an oversight in core writeback code? Not sure
how this can even happen, setting up a writeback job without an fb sounds
a bit like a bug to me at least ...

If we don't have a good reason for why other hw needs to accept this, then
imo this needs to be rejected in shared code. For consistent behaviour
across all writeback supporting drivers.
