Okay, got it.

Thanks.  : )

I am confused with the way that audio driver realize the display 
resolution-changing.
If audio driver cannot knowing that, then audio clock may be closed 
permanently ?

static void hdmi_keep_audio_clk_status(struct dw_hdmi *hdmi)
{
     mutex_lock(&hdmi->audio_mutex);

     if (hdmi->audio_enable)
         hdmi_modb(hdmi, 0, HDMI_MC_CLKDIS_AUDCLK_DISABLE,
                             HDMI_MC_CLKDIS);
     else
         hdmi_modb(hdmi, HDMI_MC_CLKDIS_AUDCLK_DISABLE,
                             HDMI_MC_CLKDIS_AUDCLK_DISABLE, HDMI_MC_CLKDIS);

     mutex_unlock(&hdmi->audio_mutex);
}

      /* HDMI Initialization Step E - Configure audio */
     hdmi_clk_regenerator_update_pixel_clock(hdmi);
     hdmi_keep_audio_clk_status(hdmi);

keep audio status maybe suitable here.
