(See the call to pci_wakeup_bus() in vga_switcheroo_runtime_resume() added by dcac86b7d0.) If the HDA controller can't detect presence of an HDMI display even if it's in PCI_D0, then I suppose that needs to be adressed in the HDA driver. Thus so far I don't see the need to call from amdgpu into the HDA driver. Thanks, Lukas
