Mhh-I think I understand the problem you're trying to solve here but I think this solution might be a bit overkill. When I did the rework of topology references for ports, I made it so that we can guarantee memory access to a port without it needing to be a valid part of the topology. As well, all parents of the port are guaranteed to be accessible for as long as the child is. Take a look at:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/drm/gpu/drm-kms-helpers.html#refcount-...
It's also worth noting that because of this there's a lot of get_port_validated()/put_port_validated() calls in the MST helpers that are now bogus and need to be removed once I get a chance. For new code we should limit the use of topology references to sections of code where we need a guarantee that resources on the port/branch (such as a drm connector, dp aux port, etc.) won't go away for as long as we need to use them.
Do you think we could change this patch so instead of removing it from the proposed payloads on the CONNECTION_STATUS_NOTIFY, we keep the port's memory allocation around until it's been removed from the proposed payloads table and clean it up there on the next payload update?

[Why] When change the connection status in a MST topology, mst device which detect the event will send out CONNECTION_STATUS_NOTIFY messgae.
e.g. src-mst-mst-sst => src-mst (unplug) mst-sst
Currently, under the above case of unplugging device, ports which have been allocated payloads and are no longer in the topology still occupy time slots and recorded in proposed_vcpi[] of topology manager.
If we don't clean up the proposed_vcpi[], when code flow goes to try to update payload table by calling drm_dp_update_payload_part1(), we will fail at checking port validation due to there are ports with proposed time slots but no longer in the mst topology. As the result of that, we will also stop updating the DPCD payload table of down stream port.
[How] While handling the CONNECTION_STATUS_NOTIFY message, add a detection to see if the event indicates that a device is unplugged to an output port. If the detection is true, then iterrate over all proposed_vcpi[] to see whether a port of the proposed_vcpi[] is still in the topology or not. If the port is invalid, set its num_slots to 0.
Thereafter, when try to update payload table by calling drm_dp_update_payload_part1(), we can successfully update the DPCD payload table of down stream port and clear the proposed_vcpi[] to NULL.
