Pin Initialization
==================
Each pin may have several device entries (virtual pins). On Intel platform,
the device entries number is dynamically changed. If DP MST hub is connected,
it is in DP MST mode, and the device entries number is 3. Otherwise, the
device entries number is 1.
To simplify the implementation, all the device entries will be initialized
when bootup no matter whether it is in DP MST mode or not.
Connection list
===============
DP MST reuses connection list code. The code can be reused because
device entries on the same pin have the same connection list.
This means DP MST gets the device entry connection list without the
device entry setting.
