Sure, that's a bug to be fixed.

This made me thinking what happens if we load the HD-audio driver very
late.  Could you try to blacklist snd-hda-intel module, then load it
manually after plugging the DP monitor and activating it?

Also, could you track who called the problematic power-up sequence,
e.g. by adding WARN_ON_ONCE()?

Last but not least, please check /proc/asound/card1/eld#* files (there
are both card0 and card1 or such that contain eld#* files, and one is
for i915 and another for amdgpu) before and after plugging.  This
shows whether the audio connection was recognized or not.


thanks,
