On Intel platform, +the device entries number is dynamically changed. If DP MST hub is connected, +it is in DP MST mode, and the device entries number is 3. Otherwise, the +device entries number is 1. + +To simplify the implementation, all the device entries will be initialized +when bootup no matter whether it is in DP MST mode or not. + +Connection list +=============== +DP MST reuses connection list code. The code can be reused because +device entries on the same pin have the same connection list. + +This means DP MST gets the device entry connection list without the +device entry setting. Jack ==== |
