Now I took a deeper look at the code.  So we hit errors after errors:
- The first problem is that quirk_nvidia_hda() enabled HD-audio even
  if it's non-functional by some reason.  We may need additional
  checks there.

- The second problem is that pci_enable_device() ignores the error
  returned from pci_set_power_state() if it's -EIO.  And the
  inaccessible access error returns -EIO, although it's rather a fatal
  problem.  So the driver believes as the PCI device gets enabled
  properly.

- The third problem is that HD-audio driver blindly believes the
  codec_mask read from the register even if it's a read failure as I
  already showed.

Ideally we should address in the first place.
