On previous SoCs, iahb was directly the bus clock (clk81), and on recent socs
this clock is a gate.

The question is why is it disabled. Maybe a previous failed probe disabled it
in the dw-hdmi probe failure code and this clock is needed for meson_dw_hdmi_init(),
so yeah this is the right fix.

Thanks.

Could you send a revert of b33340e33acdfe5ca6a5aa1244709575ae1e0432 and then proper fix with clk_disable_unprepare added ?

Exact.

Thx Guillaume for testing,
