Interesting.  The relevant code flow should be like:

  intel_audio_codec_enable()
  -> acomp->audio_ops->pin_eld_notify()
    -> intel_pin_eld_notify()
      -> check_presence_and_report()
        -> hdmi_present_sense()
	  -> sync_eld_via_acomp()
	    -> snd_hdac_acomp_get_eld()
	      -> i915_audio_component_get_eld()

So, at first, check whether intel_dig_port in both
intel_audio_codec_enable() and i915_audio_component_get_eld() points
to the same object address.  The audio_connector must be set in
intel_audio_codec_enable(), thus basically it must be non-NULL at
i915_audio_component_get_eld(), too.
