Sorry for the slow response, I've been really busy ;_;

I really like this btw, cyclic idrs are really annoying for drm_dp_aux_dev,
even outside of MST (try reloading a drm driver a couple of times and you'll
understand ;). I think we should split this into another commit though

I like this idea, but I think there may be a better way that we can do this.
Using /dev/nvme* as an example, we have the standard dev paths (/dev/nvme0,
/dev/nvme0n1, etc.). But we can also access them through /dev/disk/by-
{id,label,partlabel,partuuid,path,uuid}.

So what if we added something similar for aux devices? We start off with the
standard /dev/drm_dp_aux*, then provide more descriptive symlinks and
directories:

(feel free to come up with better naming then this if you can)

/dev/drm_dp_aux/card0-DP-1 -> /dev/drm_dp_aux1
/dev/drm_dp_aux/card0-DP-2 -> /dev/drm_dp_aux2
etc.
