This can be used to create more descriptive symlinks for MST aux
devices. Consider the following udev rule:

SUBSYSTEM=="drm_dp_aux_dev", SUBSYSTEMS=="drm", ATTRS{mstpath}=="?*",
	SYMLINK+="drm_dp_aux/by-path/$attr{mstpath}"

The following symlinks will be created (depending on your MST topology):

$ ls /dev/drm_dp_aux/by-path/
card0-mst:0-1  card0-mst:0-1-1  card0-mst:0-1-8  card0-mst:0-8

v2: remove unnecessary locking of mode_config.mutex

gah. So, I was originally going to ask "why didn't we add the connector name
into this?", but then I realized we're doing the right thing already and just
doing card%d-%s % (card_number, path_prop). Which means we probably really don't
want to add a property called mstpath, since it's hardly different from path
(whoops!).

Additionally, after some thinking I realized I may have made a mistake as I'm
not entirely sure if we would need to specify the DRM card in the path prop for
udev, considering that's specified in the sysfs path all ready. Even if I'm
wrong on that though, I think it might be better not to add an mstpath property
and just go the route of just adding a new path_v2 property that we could use
for both MST and non-MST connector paths. (I cc'd you on the email thread about
this, so you can read more about this there.

So, I would actually suggest we just drop this patch entirely for now. We should
be fine without it, even though the dp_aux_dev paths will be kind of ugly for a
little while. I'd rather the rest of this series get upstream first, and try to
do the path prop stuff separately.

Funny enough, I was originally trying to make this work for SST devices.
It didn't make sense to have by-name and by-path, but only have SST
exist in the by-name symlinks. The question there was "what to use for
sst paths?" Eventually I settled with keeping this purely for user
friendliness. But since discussion is already underway for a better
'path', it makes sense to delay this.

Sounds fair, going to spin up v3.

Thanks!

Yeah-I think Ville's suggestion of making object IDs global instead of per-
device might be what we want to  go with, but getting the aux dev stuff in the
kernel first is priority imo
