It sounds like we actually need to ping the audio side _before_ we do the
hw modeset while computing the pipe_config. That would probably take care
of my rwm concerns, give this thing proper structure and also make sure
N/CTS never get out of sync. Also then we can track this stuff in the
pipe_config and throw the state checker at it to make sure it's all fine.
