Without this patch applied, when disabling hdmi0 and hdptxphy0 nodes on
Rock5B, rockchip-drm module fails to probe and hdmi1 output cannot be
used anymore:

rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] *ERROR* failed to get pll_hdmiphy0

After applying the patch, I confirm the error is gone and hdmi1 is
functional again.  Hence,
