I have not been able to find direct verbiage that indicates this either. 
However, logically it would make sense. Otherwise, the COMMITTED field 
never clears and prevents reprogramming of the HDM decoders. The current 
QEMU implementation is creating a situation where the HDM decoder is 
always active after COMMIT bit is set the first time, regardless whether 
COMMIT field has been cleared later on during a teardown. It does sound 
like a bug with QEMU emulation currently.
