ELD info cannot refresh on hot-plug event after the controller enters D3 on Haswell.
Sorry, I forgot to enable runtime PM yesterday when checking ELD refreshing.

HW team clarified that HDMI/DP jack insertion cannot wake up the controller from D3. So this is a HW restriction for Haswell, not a driver regression.

Now the problem on Haswell/Broadwell is:
After the controller enters D3, Gfx driver can still detect HDMI/DP hot plug event even if the display power well is disabled.
Although Gfx driver set Presence Detect and ELD Valid , the audio controller does not wake up and so audio driver has no idea about the HDMI/DP hot-plug.

Is it audio driver itself or the user space that need this ELD info?
Maybe Gfx driver can directly report ELD info to user space.

Thanks
