The power well has impact on both HD-Audio controller and hdmi codec, they share the same power well.
In the initial version patch, both controller and codecs would request power-well, but for hdmi-codec is unnecessary
as HD-audio controller must have power already, otherwise it's crashed, so I removed that, only HD-audio controller request power-well on demand.
That's why there's some changes based on David's patch.

Thanks
