Enabling HDMI output often causes sync lost errors, and almost always

The sync lost problem seems to go lessen greatly if we first enable the
HDMI output, and only then enable the DISPC output. However, as this is
only based on observations, the fix may not be perfect as the problem
may lie somewhere else. Nevertheless, HDMI works better with this patch.
This will also fix the dispc's dispc_mgr_enable_digit_out(), as the code
waits for two VSYNCs after enabling the output. If the HDMI output is
disabled (as it was previously), there are no VSYNCs and
dispc_mgr_enable_digit_out() will print timeout errors.

What content would HDMI push out till the time DIGIT is enabled? It
might be interesting to put some milliseconds of delay here and see what
happens.
I guess HDMI works independently of DISPC. So HDMI will output whatever
is in the video port from DISPC to HDMI, regardless of what DISPC does.
My guess is it's either random bits or, more probably, zeroes.
Okay. I thought HDMI block may probe the video port's DE line or
something to check if it is pushing out valid content. However, with
this patch, we are more aligned with what we do in power_off(), i.e
first disable the manager and then disable HDMI.

I think this way is the same as used for VENC: first we configure and
enable VENC, then we enable DISPC digit output.
