... and on the further consideration, I believe the best solution is
to just get rid of the whole check.

It was introduced by the commit eb399d3c99d8 along with the
8ae743e82f0b that checks the suspend state. The latter is still
meaningful (we should skip the bogus notification at suspend).
However, the former -- the code path we're dealing with -- doesn't
help much in the recent code. That fix was required because the
driver probed the ELD bits via HD-audio verb at the time of the fix
commit; that is, the driver had to wake up the codec for updating the
ELD. OTOH, now ELD is read directly from the graphics chip without
the codec wakeup. So the skip makes little sense.

The fix patch is below.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda/hdmi: Don't skip notification handling during PM
operation

The HDMI driver skips the notification handling from the graphics
driver when the codec driver is being in the PM operation. This
behavior was introduced by the commit eb399d3c99d8 ("ALSA: hda - Skip
ELD notification during PM process"). This skip may cause a problem,
as we may miss the ELD update when the connection/disconnection
happens right at the runtime-PM operation of the audio codec.

Although this workaround was valid at that time, it's no longer true;
the fix was required just because the ELD update procedure needed to
wake up the audio codec, which had lead to a runtime-resume during a
runtime-suspend. Meanwhile, the ELD update procedure doesn't need a
codec wake up any longer since the commit 788d441a164c ("ALSA: hda -
Use component ops for i915 HDMI/DP audio jack handling"); i.e. there
is no much reason for skipping the notification.

Let's drop those checks for addressing the missing notification.
