I'm not sure whether it's the race between runtime suspend of GPU vs
runtime resume of audio.  My wild guess is rather that it's the timing
GPU notifies to the audio; then the audio driver notifies to
user-space and user-space opens the stream, which in turn invokes the
runtime resume of GPU. But in GPU side, it's still under processing,
so it proceeds before the GPU finishes its initialization job.

Nicholas, could you try the patch below and see whether the problem
still appears?  The patch artificially delays the notification and ELD
update for 300msec.  If this works, it means the timing problem.


thanks,
