2 nit-picks that I missed in previous versions of this patch, sorry:

nit-pick: should this be 'depends on SND_HDA_INTEL'?
if not, this 'depends on SND_HDA' is redundant, already within an
'if SND_HDA' block

nit-pick: is there a need to test the return value? I see this in 
patch_hdmi.c

	ret = snd_hda_power_up_pm(codec);
	if (ret < 0 && pm_runtime_suspended(hda_codec_dev(codec)))
		goto out;
