Yes. And as I said earlier the docs don't make any distinciton between
HDMI and DP in the audio programming sequence. So based on the docs we
should always unmute the amp manually.

1. boot with drm.debug=0xe
1. 'intel_reg read 0x62f38' just after boot, to see that the
   chicken bit is as it should
2. disable all displays (eg. xset dpms force off)
3. grep 'power_well.*display' (make sure the last thing it says is
   "disabling"
4. turn on the displays (eg. xset dpms force on)
5. 'intel_reg read 0x62f38' to check the chicken bit again

If it didn't survive then we need to set it in either in
vlv_display_power_well_init(), or we could just set it whenever
we set the AMP_MUTE bit for any of the ports.

Nothing apart from HPD circuitry really cares if there's anything
connectect or not.
