Here is what it looks like without (1) and with (2) monitor connected. In
the case where the monitor disappears during suspend, the device nodes
aux3,4 are still around
1) No monitor connected
ls -l /dev/drm*
crw------- 1 root root 238, 0 Aug 6 22:32 /dev/drm_dp_aux0
crw------- 1 root root 238, 1 Aug 6 22:32 /dev/drm_dp_aux1
2) Monitor connected
crw------- 1 root root 238, 0 Aug 6 22:32 /dev/drm_dp_aux0
crw------- 1 root root 238, 1 Aug 6 22:32 /dev/drm_dp_aux1
crw------- 1 root root 238, 2 Aug 11 14:51 /dev/drm_dp_aux2
crw------- 1 root root 238, 3 Aug 11 14:51 /dev/drm_dp_aux3
crw------- 1 root root 238, 4 Aug 11 14:51 /dev/drm_dp_aux4
