IMO, I don't think Chrome should keep on retrying, given the nature of
disabling (unlike enabling, you just wanna shut off the display, there
are no "different" configurations you wanna disable with).

With your analysis, I think you pointed out where we should be
looking. IIUC, Pipe C is not really in "bad" state, it's more in a
"transient" state: connector physically disconnected but it's still
active because Chrome hasn't disabled it yet. Is that right?
If so, this seems like it will be a common case with MST: a number of
connectors are connected -> you unplug their common cable -> the
userspace disables them one by one.
Because of MST, we might need to handle them in a special way. 2 ideas
come to mind: either ignore connectors in "transient state" that are
irrelevant to the current pipe [in our example, if you know you're on
MST with Pipe C, ignore its transient state while you're disabling
Pipe B], or,
queue all transient disable requests until you get all displays then
deactivate them together [in our example, when Pipe B wants to be
disabled, add it "i want to disable these"_queue because C is still
transient, and once you get a request for Pipe C, deactivate them all
together] (more complex i think and kinda risky)

Agree with Ville, this is explicitly setting fields for the purpose of
