OK, then could you put some debug print in intel_pin_eld_notify() in
sound/pci/hda/patch_hdmi.c?  This is the callback to be called by i915
driver at enabling / disabling HDMI/DP audio.
(Also, to be sure, check whether snd_hdac_i915_register_notifier() in
 sound/hda/hda_i915.c is called, too.)

If intel_pin_eld_notify() is registered but never called, it implies
something wrong in i915 driver side.  If it gets called, we need to
track down: what port value was passed there, and how
hdmi_present_sense() and sync_eld_via_acomp() behave there.
