Yeah, this is why I have been trying to move stuff into the atomic state
because it will make stuff like this a LOT easier. And to be honest, I think
pretty much all of the bandwidth related info in the MST mgr that isn't in
atomic is a hack at this point (I'm definitely not accepting adding any more
props into mgr now). We'll probably also want to consider maybe having a more
complicated link_status API for MST (I was originally going to use the
link_status prop we already have, but I've been realizing that might cause a
lot of problems when initially introducing it since fixing MST link status
errors will likely require disabling all sinks on the link - which userspace
won't understand).

Unfortunately now that I'm back to working on that, I'm stuck on trying to
wrap my head around adjusting amdgpu for these changes <<. I have a WIP branch
with other drivers adjusted if anyone is interested in looking:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/lyudess/linux/-/commits/wip/mst-atomic-only-v1

Haven't actually tried it yet on any hardware though
