Easier, yes. I don't really have that good of an idea how big of a delay
do 8 write verbs cause, so I'll rely on your judgment :)

I guess I could replace the writes with read-and-write-if-differs cycles
when I add the set_slot ops for ATI/AMD, since it seems to be used for
other similar cases (like channel count)?

Well, this would result in more cost, as read requires a sync.

Hmm, so why does e.g. converter channel count set-up use that, then?

If any, we can use the cached write/update.  But this assumes that the
hardware never clears the value by some operation internally.

It should not, but better be safe than sorry here (at least for stable) :)

I guess hdmi_present_sense() is the same, as it can also call
hdmi_setup_audio_infoframe()?

Hm, looking at the code, we have already pin_eld->lock in
hdmi_present_sense().  This can be used in other places, too.

Well, hdmi_setup_audio_infoframe() is non-threadsafe for other reasons than eld as well (e.g. write verbs to hw), though, so it might be a bit confusing
as-is. Better move/rename the lock if we end up using it? Or not?

(And pin_eld->monitor_present change at the beginning of
hdmi_present_sense() should be protected in the mutex, too...)

BTW, shouldn't hdmi_present_sense() call hdmi_setup_audio_infoframe()
always
when eld_changed is true? hdmi_setup_audio_infoframe() does not do its
stuff if !monitor_present, so if one starts playback before plugging in,
the channel mappings etc will never be set even when plug-in happens
(from what I can see, that is -  did not test yet).

Well, there is such a call but currently specific to Haswell because
it hasn't been tested for others.  Maybe we can simply get rid of
is_haswell() check there.

OK, will test later and provide a patch if it works as expected.
