* <b>Multi-stream transport (MST) mode: RX mode of operation</b>
*
* The driver handles MST mode functionality in RX mode of operation. The API
* function, XDp_RxHandleDownReq, will read a sideband message from the down
* request registers in the DisplayPort RX core, parse it, arbitrate control for
* the sideband message type that was requested, format a reply, and send the
* reply.
*
* The current version of the driver only supports a software representation of
* a shallow topology - meaning virtual sinks are defined in the user
* application and assigned to port numbers. The RX acts as a branch connected
* to multiple sinks, but is not connected to another branch. Sideband messages
* will then be handled for the targeted downstream sink.
*
* The user application creates the topology using the driver's API functions:
* - XDp_RxSetIicMapEntry : Used to specify the I2C contents of a virtual sink.
* - XDp_RxSetDpcdMap : Used to specify the DPCD of a virtual sink.
* - XDp_RxMstSetPbn : Used to specify the available PBN of a virtual sink.
* - XDp_RxMstSetPort : Used to specify how the sink will appear when the an
* upstream device sends a LINK_ADDRESS sideband request to the RX branch.
* - XDp_RxMstSetInputPort : Used to specify the input port.
* - XDp_RxMstExposePort : Used to enable the port by exposing it to incoming
* LINK_ADDRESS sideband requests.
*
* The driver will keep track of the topology in the structures:
* - XDp_RxTopology : Stores topology information as a reply to LINK_ADDRESS
* requests, the virtual channel payload table, and port representations
* (XDp_RxPort[] type).
* - XDp_RxPort : Stores the I2C map (XDp_RxIicMapEntry[] type), DPCD address
* space (XDp_RxDpcdMap type), PBN information, and whether or not the
* represented sink is exposed to upstream devices.
* - XDp_RxIicMapEntry : Represents data stored at an associated I2C address.
* - XDp_RxDpcdMap : Represents the DPCD of an associated port's sink.
*
* Note that the driver uses the topology's XDp_RxPort[] array such that the
* indices match the port number that attaches the virtual sink to the RX
* branch.
*
* The following sideband messages are supported:
* - CLEAR_PAYLOAD_ID_TABLE
* - LINK_ADDRESS
* - REMOTE_I2C_READ
* - REMOTE_DPCD_READ
* - ENUM_PATH_RESOURCES
* - ALLOCATE_PAYLOAD
* Other sideband messages are replied to with NACK.
