[Why]
Today, the allocation/deallocation steps and status is a bit unclear.
For instance, payload->vc_start_slot = -1 stands for "the failure of
updating DPCD payload ID table" and can also represent as "payload is not
allocated yet". These two cases should be handled differently and hence
better to distinguish them for better understanding.
[How]
Define enumeration - ALLOCATION_LOCAL, ALLOCATION_DFP and ALLOCATION_REMOTE
to distinguish different allocation status. Adjust the code to handle
different status accordingly for better understanding the sequence of
payload allocation and payload removement.
For payload creation, the procedure should look like this:
DRM part 1:
* step 1 - update sw mst mgr variables to add a new payload
* step 2 - add payload at immediate DFP DPCD payload table
Driver:
* Add new payload in HW and sync up with DFP by sending ACT
DRM Part 2:
* Send ALLOCATE_PAYLOAD sideband message to allocate bandwidth along the
virtual channel.
And as for payload removement, the procedure should look like this:
DRM part 1:
* step 1 - Send ALLOCATE_PAYLOAD sideband message to release bandwidth
along the virtual channel
* step 2 - Clear payload allocation at immediate DFP DPCD payload table
Driver:
* Remove the payload in HW and sync up with DFP by sending ACT
DRM part 2:
* update sw mst mgr variables to remove the payload
Note that it's fine to fail when communicate with the branch device
connected at immediate downstrean-facing port, but updating variables of
SW mst mgr and HW configuration should be conducted anyway. That's because
it's under commit_tail and we need to complete the HW programming.
Changes since v1:
* Remove the set but not use variable 'old_payload' in function
'nv50_msto_prepare'. Catched by kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
