This piece of neat lore has been ported painstakingly and bug-for-bug compatible from the old crtc helper code. Imo it's utter nonsense. If you disconnected a cable and before you reconnect it, userspace (or the kernel) does an set_crtc call, this will result in that connector getting disabled. Which will result in a nice black screen when plugging in the cable again. There's absolutely no reason the kernel does such policy enforcements - if userspace tries to set up a mode on something disconnected we might fail loudly (since the dp link training fails), but silently adjusting the output configuration behind userspace's back is a recipe for disaster. Specifically I think that this could explain some of our MI_WAIT hangs around suspend, where userspace issues a scanline wait on a disable pipe. This mechanisims here could explain how that pipe got disabled without userspace noticing. Note that this fixes a NULL deref at BIOS takeover when the firmware sets up a disconnected output in a clone configuration with a connected output on the 2nd pipe: When doing the full modeset we don't have a mode for the 2nd pipe and OOPS. On the first pipe this doesn't matter, since at boot-up the fbdev helpers will set up the choosen configuration on that on first. Since this is now the umptenth bug around handling this imo brain-dead semantics correctly, I think it's time to kill it and see whether there's any userspace out there which relies on this. It also nicely demonstrates that we have a tiny window where DP hotplug can still kill the driver.
