HDMI cannot be powered down without taking down the 1.8V rail. You can certainly take down all the rails via the PMIC, but that may be too low in power as that would shut everything down.
If HDMI is not connected, no cable, the framer does go into a lower power mode. You could also take the LCD pins and turn them off, either high or low, to save some power as well. To turn ff rails, send I2C commands to the PMIC. refer to the datasheet..But, be careful not to have devices partially powered, devcies off and signal pins still active.
