I'm still not understanding this patch.

We of course cannot have a situation where HDMI jack detection is not 
correctly working after S3, which looks like would be the case here?

Second, I just saw on a machine we're working on, the symptoms: one of 
the pins in D3 and the right channel muted. And this was on a clean 
boot, not after S3 suspend/resume cycle.

To look at the problem again: If the problem is that something must be 
done on the graphics driver side first and then on the audio side, 
wouldn't the solution be for the video driver and audio driver to 
communicate somehow? And resume (and possibly init?) would not complete 
until first the graphics driver has done its resume, and after that, the 
audio driver. I e, userspace will remain frozen until both drivers have 
completed a correct resume.
