I had thought so; but I did a little more investigation and it looks like I
wasn't totally wrong when I first wrote this patch; we actually do need to
destroy the previous topology when it's not actually there and prevent the
driver from trying to set it up again. Something that apparently a simple
sysfs hotplug won't do.

I think what we might be able to do is instead of comparing against the
connector's EDID, we should try repurposing drm_dp_mst_port->cached_edid so
that it holds a copy of each mst connector's EDID instead of just logical
MSTBs, then compare against those EDIDs instead of the ones we assigned to the
drm_connector to avoid the lockdep issues that would occur from trying to grab
dev->mode_config.mutex from the suspend/resume codepaths, and decide from
where whether or not to tell the driver to cut off the topology.

Feel free to poke me about this on irc btw, might be quicker to discuss it
there
