I am not yet too familiar with drm way of doing things. My code is 
trying to follow the way how ALSA does things. I tried to survive with 
as few callback as possible, but if you think more is needed I can add 
those if there is a corresponding callback in ALSA.

There is no such thing in my HDMI codec. However, there is digital_mute 
callback that is used by alsa before the streams are shut down to avoid 
undesired pops and clicks.

Post_disable should map more or less directly to audio_shutdown() in my 
code.

audio_startup() and hw_params() should both be called at pre_enable() 
phase.

... or one could see hw_params() to map to enable. And there is 
digital_mute which is toggled by ALSA at this phase.

Actually hw_params() does pretty much the same thing as set_mode(), but 
it should be called after audio_startup() has been called.

For this there is get_eld() in my HDMI codec code.

BTW, the HDMI codec is made in such a way that one can get by with only 
hw_params() and audio_shutdown(). In such an implementation hw_params() 
sets the HDMI encoder ready for receiving i2s or spdif from CPU DAI and 
audio_shutdown() disables the audio stream.
