What does this mean?  Is it the stock 4.17.x (or 4.18-rc)?
Please clarify your test environment at first: which kernel, which
hardware setup.

Sorry, not understood.  Why they don't access the audio hardware?

As long as it's i915 and HD-audio, the hotplug and ELD info transfer
doesn't trigger the runtime PM since it's done via the direct
callback.  And ELD value is cached in HD-audio side.

The exception is that if the notification is done during the PM
operation.  But, the connection and ELD query is performed at the end
of codec resume, hence it'll be covered there.

So in theory, ELD information should be passed from the GPU to
HD-audio no matter whether runtime PM is enabled or not.

BTW, please stop top-posting.  It makes the thread readability awfully
worse.

thanks,

Takashi
