OK, figured out the cause.

Apparently, for each ddc poll we enable ddc clock which is a child of TMDS
clock. After transfer is done, we disable the clock and this also tears down
the parent because its only user has gone missing.. :(


So basically, patch below also works, but I guess we should override
the sun4i_tmds_ops.disable to properly account for tmds clock use.
