Thanks Lyude for your comments.
Seems I should keep existing code to keep track of current slot status in mgr.
That information is getting updated each time when topology change detected.
That slot information saved in mgr is a sort of static, and could only be used
for debug purpose to track what is the current encoding format.

The slot information should also be added into drm_dp_mst_topology_state to
reflect the real-time slot status.
I'd like to confirm the best place to get slot count info. updated.
Should the update be done within &drm_mode_config_funcs. atomic_check(),
before new stream is created, OR
should be updated within drm_dp_mst_atomic_check() ?
The updated slot count will be used in drm_dp_mst_atomic_check() to check slot limit,
and in drm_dp_update_payload_part1() as initial cur_slots.
