Right. I actually have this chunk. dmesg shows that in intel_hdmi_detect(),  
the drm_encoder object is there, however encoder->crtc is NULL at the time.

You may wonder why the mode parameter is needed in intel_write_eld().
This is because the ELD field aud_synch_delay (ie. A/V sync delay) may
have different values in progressive/interleaved display modes.

Ah yes. I figured it out later.

I tested Ivybridge yesterday and ironlake_write_eld seems to not work
properly for Ivybridge. Need to double check its spec.
