I don't have this driver enabled, but that seems like it would solve
the problem when the remote node is a dp-connector.

Unfortunately in my particular case, I have a usb-c-connector. So I
don't see that I would be able to reuse this straight off.
But I assume that this is trying to say that the USB Type-C code is
supposed to provide a bridge for each of the connectors exposed by my
USB Type-C controller?

I've been building on top of drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() to
achieve this (with the link in the other direction)...
