I'm pretty sure it's needed for looking up the display topology for
things like DP 1.2 MST.  We probably need to decide on some changes to
the DRM KMS topology to deal with multiple displays being driven from
a single connector (sub-connectors maybe?).  A single port could
potentially drive a HDMI monitor or a DVI monitor or one or more DP
monitors.
