Currently we set intel_connector->mst_port to NULL to signify that the
MST port has been removed from the system so that we can prevent further
action on the port such as connector probes, mode probing, etc.
However, we're going to need access to intel_connector->mst_port in
order to fixup ->best_encoder() so that it can always return the correct
encoder for an MST port to prevent legacy DPMS prop changes from
failing. This should be safe, so instead keep intel_connector->mst_port
always set and instead just check the status of
drm_connector->regustered to signify whether or not the connector has
disappeared from the system.
Changes since v2:
- Add a comment to mst_port_gone (Jani Nikula)
- Change mst_port_gone to a u8 instead of a bool, per the kernel bot.
Apparently bool is discouraged in structs these days
Changes since v4:
- Don't use mst_port_gone at all! Just check if the connector is
registered or not - Daniel Vetter

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
