Correct. encoder->crtc is set only when the output is active.

Ok, so you can't write ELD data until the display is active, which
happens at mode_set time.

Do you need to provide ELD when the display is inactive? Is this only to
enable audio output when the display is not on? In that case, we will
need to essentially turn enough of the output on to allow for audio
data, picking a mode which provide sufficient bandwidth.

That's unfortunate...
