AFAIU there shouldn't be , when the last connector of MST topology get destroyed  and it switches to SST mode on same port.
The base static connector of same dig_port should get connected and will call  intel_dp_init_connector()->intel_dp_hdcp_init().
What is the specific sequence is broken here , is it the connector destroy path ?
