But there is more payload update code in intel_mst_enable_dp(), that
would get executed regardless of this diff below. We'll have to rewrite
pre_enable, enable, disable and post_disable if the idea is avoid sink
transactions after the first failure. It does make sense to do all of
that as it avoids printing error messages in dmesg when we very well
know the branch device is disconnected, but this should be a separate
change. My idea was to bring pre_enable/enable in line with
disable/post_disable.

It is clearing the ACT status bit by writing a 1. Bspec has this
under DP_TP_STATUS:24
