OK, then the HDMI/DP has its own controller.

Yes, unless something overwrites it.  Often there are udev rules to
override something for that.

It implies that the problem is the PM layer itself...

In anyway, please check the runtime PM status in the codec devices,
i.e. /sys/bus/hdaudio/devices/*.   The controller runtime PM is
activated only when the codec is power-saved.

If the codec is in runtime-suspended but the controller still doesn't,
put some debug codes in azx_runtime_idle() in
sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c, whether any EBUSY condition there hits.
