I'm experimenting with using ELD information in PulseAudio and found that it didn't work very well with hotplugging. Neither the proc file nor the ELD kcontrol was cleared correctly after unplug, and there was no way (except polling) to find out when ELD has become available.
Did you try Xingchao's patch for drm/i915? It's queued in drm-intel-next:
commit 7b9f35a6dd72f89452c58bbdbaf063027bf857ec Author: Wang Xingchao <xingchao.wang@intel.com> Date: Tue Jan 22 23:25:25 2013 +0800 drm/i915: HDMI/DP - ELD info refresh support for HaswellThanks for the hint. I'm currently developing not on a Haswell machine, but an (I think) Arrandale that I bought a few years ago. So I guess this patch does not have any effect on my hw?
While reviewing that patch I asked whether we need something like that on other platforms. Unfortunately I didn't get a real answer. The logic in the patch would seem to apply equally to all platforms, not just HSW. We also seem to be doing silly things like flipping the ELD valid bit in the register on and off a few times when we update the ELD. But I'm not all that familiar with the topic so take my ramblings with a pinch of salt.
But in any case, if you're seeing a problem with the behaviour of i915 you should definitely report it.
