Hi Ville,

I'm not going to argue even that this code has some issues or not,
sure it has. However you are currently totally removing everything
without proposing what fixes have to be done or could have been done
instead.
We had multiple DP MST hubs which started to work because of this code,
also we had a public gitlab issues which were solved. So now they will loose
that support. I mean if this goes through, then I guess its up to you to 
handle this. Why not just fix instead of remove? Just add fixing patches on
top of those which remove the wrong code.
Now we are simply removing all that works at least,
instead of proposing how to fix, leaving no support at all. 
I have 2 MST hubs on my desk which won't work after this code is removed,
so if this patch goes through I recommend taking them.
But at least from my side, I think this is kinda unconstructive.

Stan
