I'm inclined for avoiding applying this at that place for all IDT/STAC
codecs, but only to specific codec. patch_stac92hd73xx() is the only
IDT codecs setting spec->eapd_switch, and other places are only for
legacy STAC codecs, which I don't want to touch too much any longer.

spec->eapd_switch can be set on/off well even after calling
stac_parse_auto_config(), I guess, so it can be done in patch_*() as
well.

That is, I mean a patch like below.

thanks,

Takashi
