So originally on my system, I didn't have the displayport driver
config enabled. My expectation was that the alt-mode would show up but
would not be controllable (like all other alt-modes without drivers).
What ends up happening is that no alt-mode shows up and trying to
enable the trace crashes.

When the displayport support isn't there, I think it should just be
enumerated as a normal, unsupported alt-mode.
