I was just going to post a patch fixing this after finally investigating
why the DisplayPort outputs on the X13s were annoyingly identified as
"Unknown20-1" and "Unknown20-2" instead of the expected "DP-1" and
"DP-2".

A lore search just before posting led me to this fix from two weeks ago.

I think the commit message should have mentioned something about the how
this change affects user space. My patch also had a CC stable, but I
guess we can ping the stable team once it hits mainline:

commit e5f55bf5ad4effdd59d4d06c839a0ac553a73c7d (HEAD -> work)

    soc: qcom: pmic_glink_altmode: fix DP alt mode connector type
    
    The PMIC glink altmode bridge connector type should be "DisplayPort"
    rather than "USB", which is intended for custom USB display protocols
    (e.g. see 40e1a70b4aed ("drm: Add GUD USB Display driver")).
    
    This specifically makes the DisplayPort outputs on the Lenovo ThinkPad
    X13s show up as "DP-1" and "DP-2" rather than "Unknown20-1" and
    "Unknown20-2" with xrandr as expected (by users and tools):
    
      Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 5120 x 4096
      eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 286mm x 178mm
         1920x1200     60.03*+
         1600x1200     60.00
      DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
      DP-2 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
         1920x1200     59.95 +
      ...
