Oh, another detail that might be useful. Even with
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL_HDMI_SILENT_STREAM enabled this bug doesn't happen if the
screen is connected *before* turning on the computer, and HDMI audio works too.
But it isn't reliable as reconnecting the external screen, or changing the
resolution, or even so much as changing the screen mode (changing to mirror for
example) will then trigger this bug crashing the system.
