+ * @new_conn_state: The new connector state of the &drm_connector
+ * @mgr: The MST topology manager for the &drm_connector
+ *
+ * Since MST uses fake &drm_encoder structs, the generic atomic modesetting code isn't able to
+ * serialize non-blocking commits happening on the real DP connector of an MST topology switching
+ * into/away from MST mode - as the CRTC on the real DP connector and the CRTCs on the connector's
+ * MST topology will never share the same &drm_encoder.
+ *
+ * This function takes care of this serialization issue, by checking a root MST connector's atomic
+ * state to determine if it is about to have a modeset - and then pulling in the MST topology state
+ * if so, along with adding any relevant CRTCs to &drm_dp_mst_topology_state.pending_crtc_mask.
+ *
+ * Drivers implementing MST must call this function from the
+ * &drm_connector_helper_funcs.atomic_check hook of any physical DP &drm_connector capable of
+ * driving MST sinks.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ * 0 on success, negative error code otherwise
