It depends on timing. When audio driver receives the unsolicited event, 
graphics driver has finished with "eld_valid = 1", hence
AC_VERB_GET_PIN_SENSE returns ELDV=1.

It's not happening /all the time/ though. For example here is another
dmesg showing a different timing on the same test box.

I'd like to know the root cause, too... However enabling drm debugging
does not show any co-related event that turns the ELD into readable state,
and I cannot find clues in the spec, too...
