If this is in principle an acceptable idea, this leaves the issue that
the jack has an initial state and right now we can't query it but
instead would have to wait for the first HDMI_(DIS)CONNECTED
notification before it can be set. Would it make sense to add an
is_connected callback to the hdmi_codec_ops or does this rather belong
somewhere else?

Thanks, that sounds reasonable.

Possibly the HDMI driver itself should just mute if the format is not
supported, and userspace should be notified?
