It further "renames" DP MST connectors. So on my > laptop I end up with DP-1-1 in xrandr, but DP-3 in kernel. Right. But that function only takes in a connector type enum as input, and returns a string for the type only. It doesn't include the suffix with the number. IOW: xserver could use drmModeGetConnectorTypeName() and then append "-2" or "-1-1" or whatever. But with the current appetite for xserver development this is probably not going to happen (and doesn't matter very much).
