Some of the details are IP-sensitive, that's why I choose not to include
details.

As we discussed before, considering Navi10 and Navi14 are using the same DC
code, and the issue is only happening on Navi14, its more likely the issue is a
BIOS issue. However, if we want to fix it on display side, we can only do some
kinds of workaround to fix it. Another alternative is to do stream setup twice,
but there is no point to repeat the setup two times.
If we really worry about all AISCs will be influenced, we can guard the section
as a Navi14 specific code, and treat this patch as a "hack".
