[PATCH 11/11] intelhdmi - keep power on to avoid losing hot plug event

The intelhdmi patch relies on reliable pin presence detection to
conditionally generate infoframe for the connected pins. However
the codec power off risks losing the hot plug event. Interestingly
if such hot plug event is missed (it may not be generated by hardware
at all), we cannot even get correct pin presence info with the
AC_VERB_GET_PIN_SENSE query some time later.

So always keep the HDMI codec power on. This also avoids losing
0.5s audio samples if start playing immediately after powering
on the codec.
