Feels slightly dodgy, vma can only be set and deferred_setup only be
cleared at runtime, so at worst we may miss sending a hpd event during a
runtime configuration phase. Which is probably just as well.

What happens if we send two hpd events, and the first gets a deferred setup
that fails. Do we hit the previous error condition? At least we are not
hitting the condition of running the hotplug event while trying to do
the initial configuration, but does the deferred setup have the same
bugs?

I fear this is just poking the bear,
