Any idea why; is the graphics driver writing the ELD data to the audio HW
after triggering the unsolicited even rather than before, or something
like that? 250mS almost sounds like it's setting ELDV in the audio HW,
then going and reading the EDID, then writing the EDID to the audio HW;
perhaps the graphics driver is accidentally setting PRESENT+ELDV when it's
meant to be setting just PRESENT, and later setting ELDV?
