You may be conflating two things here. DP has a native AUX channel, and
I2C-over-AUX on top. If it's DDC you're after, you want I2C, and the I2C
adapters are exposed to userspace. You might want to have a look at
ddccontrol [1]. It's not minimal and seems to be abandoned, but last
time I tried I could use it to control my monitor.

If it's DP AUX you're after (why?) there was some discussion about
adding such an interface in the thread starting at [2].

BR,
Jani.
