In the original code, it only register device but not unregister device.
This looks like a bug in hdmi driver. So we need to register and
unregister. You define a 'static' variable here would make
register/unregister asymmetric. And how do you make sure that hdmi
driver is probed before audio dai driver? By the device tree order?
Device tree older may vary for each SoC. I would like more general
solution to make sure that hdmi driver is probed before audio dai
driver. There are some method to make drivers probe in order, so try to
use the better method.
