It turned out that I wasn't entirely correct here, mpv didn't cope with
unknown types. In the PR to add support Emil Velikov wondered if libdrm
should handle these connector names:

Sam, didn't you and Laurent discuss adding DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_PANEL for
such a use case?
If someone adds parallel bus support to the MIPI DBI helper, there will
be one more connector type (I wonder what that one will be called).
