[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: skip useless vblank wait on Haswell audio sequence

[Paulo Zanoni]

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>

We call haswell_write_eld at mode_set time, not at crtc_enable time,
so the pipes are stopped, and it doesn't really make sense to wait for
a vblank: it just delays the modeset in 50ms.

Leave the code there (commented with FIXME) for now since maybe we
need a bigger rework.
