Your patch changes things.  With this applied on top of 4.15-rc1
it is failing 100% of the time instead of only half of the time.

I brought the original test equipment back to the setup so I can
see the video and pink bar again.  The symptoms remain the same
(unexpected size, pink bar, and no audio).

PS: your patch seems to have been line wrapped which made it a
bit annoying to apply.

It is very consistent: pink bar <=> no audio.

My suspicion is that the audio problem is just the wrong video mode
on the sink side messing things up, but I have no way of confirming
that (that I know of).
