I'm very much of the opinion of making small logical changes.  This
patch is one small logical change to the DRM-side logic to get rid
of the identified duplication there without touching anything else.
If removing the above calls to dw_hdmi_poweron()/dw_hdmi_poweroff()
were found to cause a regression, then the whole change would end
up being reverted, which would be annoying.
