Should that be some actual mode constant instead of -1?

In any case, this patch, applied manually on top of the struct_mutex
fix, seems to work.  xset dpms force off turns the display off briefly
(presumably X or GNOME helpfully turns it back on), but if I let the
display turn off on its own, it comes back.

There's still an obnoxious bug, though: I use audio over DP, and when
the display turns off, the attached speaker crackles loudly for a
second or two.  I don't think it's a hardware problem with the
monitor, because if I just pull the plug it doesn't make any noise.
Should the driver do something to drop the audio link before turning
off the DP link as a whole?
