No. When entering to S3, hdmi_codec_prepare() will invoke the runtime
resume of codec hdac_hdmi_runtime_resume() which power up the codec and
skl_suspend power down the codec. When it wakes up from S3, skl_resume()
powers up the codec and hdmi_codec_complete invokes the runtime suspend of
codec hdac_hdmi_runtime_suspend() which powers down the codec.

This design is required to achieve the runtime power reference count for
codec device when it is put to S3/S4 while playback was going on.

Display power management for all runtime uses cases are handled in the
codec driver hdac_hdmi.c.
