The mainlink is only disabled when the cable is disconnected though?

Let me put it this way, if we have to check that the state is
"connected" or "disconnected pending" in the disable path then there's
an issue where this driver is being called in unexpected ways. This
driver is fighting the drm core each time there's a state check. We
really need to get rid of the state tracking entirely, and make sure
that the drm core is calling into the driver at the right time, i.e.
bridge disable is only called when the mainlink is enabled, etc.
