All this is working as expected, but it's not what I'm asking about.

The problem is that if I plug in the HDMI, I can *NEVER* use the
internal (SGTL5000) audio again, even when I unplug the HDMI.
Neither rebooting, nor resetting the  board using the switch
restores the internal audio.  However, if I cycle the power
and boot with the HDMI not connected, it works again.
