Is this dp_display_disable()? Doubtful that display_disable() is the
function we're talking about.

This commit text seems to say the why before the what, where why is "dp
initializes audio_comp followed by sending disconnect.." and the what is
"this patch will no re-initialized audio_comp...". Can you reorder this
so the what comes before the why?

Why is this reinitialized here at all? Wouldn't it make more sense to
initialize the completion once at cable plug in and then not initialize
the completion anywhere else? Or initialize the completion whenever
dp_display->audio_enabled is set to true and then only wait for the
completion here if that boolean is true? Or initialize the completion
when dp_display_handle_plugged_change() is passed true for the 'plugged'
argument?

I started reading the code and quickly got lost figuring out how
dp_display_handle_plugged_change() worked and the interaction between
the dp display code and the audio codec embedded in here. There seem to
be a couple of conditions that cut off things early, like
dp_display->audio_enabled and audio->engine_on. Why? Why does
dp_display_signal_audio_complete() call complete_all() vs. just
complete()? Please help! :(

> +                       dp_display_handle_plugged_change(dp_display, fals=
e);

I think it's this way because dp_hpd_unplug_handle() is the function
that sets the hpd_state to ST_DISCONNECT_PENDING and then reinitializes
the completion (why?) and calls dp_display_handle_plugged_change(). So
the commit text could say that reinitializing the completion again here
at dp_display_disable() is racing with the audio code in the case that
dp_hpd_unplug_handle() already called
dp_display_handle_plugged_change() and it would make more sense. But the
question still stands why that race even exists in the first place vs.
initializing the completion variable in only one place unconditionally
when the cable is connected, in dp_hpd_plug_handle() or
dp_display_post_enable().
