Thanks, that's a good news, at least.

My wild guess is that the audio controller got powered up too early
before the graphics side became ready.  Basically HD-audio PCI
controller for HDMI audio is a shadow component of the graphics chip,
so it can't work before GPU is set up properly.

This showed that it's triggered by the runtime PM resume from opening
the PCM device.  That said, a desktop application (most likely
PulseAudio) tried to open the stream because it detected something.

This implies a doubt that PA received a false-positive notification
about the HDMI audio connection, so...

... here comes the question again.  What's interesting here is the
contents of eld#* proc files.  If, at the moment the problem appears,
any of eld#* files shows the state as connected wrongly, it may
confuse the user-space to trigger the opening of PCM stream.

Note that you should have multiple /proc/asound/card[0-9]* directories
and one of them is for i915 and another for amdgpu.  The interesting
information is only about the latter.
