First off sorry for this taking so long. I had been prepared to test this
pretty quickly originally, but there was a mixup in the office and the laptop I
needed to reproduce this got sent to another office until today. So this might
not get done in the time I was hoping for, but that's ok as that isn't AMD's
fault. Additionally, the problem is less severe then I originally thought
anyway.

So, after testing a couple of kernels mst seems to work now that I'm back from
XDC. I think what must have happened is I didn't get enough time to look at it
closely, and got confused by two things:

- The external monitors on the MST hub not coming on were most likely caused by
the keypress spam from the ACPI hotplug events and I just didn't notice at the
time. I have a fix for this by the way which still needs reviews!

- I /thought/ I was actually testing hotplugging by removing the entire
topology instead of just downstream sinks, as downstream sink hotplugging isn't
nearly as important as the former and I kind of expected downstream sink
hotplugging to be broken anyway. But, I guess not? Weird.

All of that being said, that means this is a lot more severe then I thought!
:), phew.

----
Now onto the actual patch that you sent: what exactly is this supposed to be
doing? Are we dereferencing an mstb's port too early somewhere in the DRM MST
core?
