Polaris 10 has 6 display controllers and Polaris 11 and 12 have 5
display controllers.  The numbers of displays supported on an MST link
(and in general) is limited by the bandwidth requirements of the
connected displays, bandwidth capabilities of the GPU, and the number
of type of physical connectors on the board itself.
