[why] need to enable APG_CLOCK_ENABLE enable first also need to wake up az from D3 before access az block

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

### 3. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

**The Bug:** The original code had an incorrect operation sequence: 1. Called `az_enable()` - attempts to access audio controller registers 2. Called `enable_pme_wa()` - wakes audio controller from D3 power state

This is backwards - you cannot access hardware registers while the device is still in D3 (sleeping). The hardware must be woken up FIRST.

**The Fix:** The fix simply reorders these operations: 1. Call `enable_pme_wa()` - wake audio controller from D3 first 2. Call `az_enable()` - now safe to access registers

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

- **Lines changed:** ~8 lines (just reordering) - **Files touched:** 1 file (dce110_hwseq.c) - **Complexity:** Very low - no new logic, just reordering existing function calls - **Subsystem:** AMD display driver, well-tested and mature - **Risk:** Minimal - same operations, correct sequence

### 5. USER IMPACT

- **Affected users:** AMD GPU users with DisplayPort audio output - **Severity:** High - complete loss of audio functionality - **Usage scenario:** Very common (monitors with speakers, AV receivers, docking stations) - **Symptoms:** "DP no audio issue" - a clearly user-visible bug

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Reviewed-by: Swapnil Patel (AMD engineer) - Tested-by: Daniel Wheeler (AMD engineer) - Multiple sign-offs from AMD display team - Cherry-picked from mainline - indicates AMD considers it important

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

The dce110_hwseq.c file has been in the kernel for years and the `dce110_enable_audio_stream` function is stable code. The fix only reorders existing calls to `enable_pme_wa()` and `az_enable()` - both of which already exist in stable trees.

## Summary

**Meets stable criteria:** - ✅ **Obviously correct:** Simple reordering to match hardware requirements - ✅ **Fixes real bug:** Complete audio failure on DisplayPort is a significant user-visible bug - ✅ **Small and contained:** ~8 lines changed, same functions, just different order - ✅ **No new features:** No new functionality added - ✅ **Tested:** Has Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags from AMD engineers - ✅ **No dependencies:** Uses existing functions already in stable trees

**Risk vs Benefit:** - **Benefit:** Restores DisplayPort audio functionality for affected AMD GPU users - **Risk:** Very low - the same operations are performed, just in the correct hardware-required sequence

This is an ideal stable backport candidate: a small, surgical fix for a clear user-visible bug (no audio on DP), with proper code review and testing from the hardware vendor.

**YES**
