Imo the real issue is that we register a connector and then throw it away
again. Not that big a problem any more since mst dp happened meanwhile but
still might result in confusion.

I think we should try to at least get the "is this an edp or not" question
right, and only postpone the other init steps. So maybe start with making
that edp failed to init issue really loud and then rip it out?

Postponing all the other init work would be comparitively a lot easier I
think.
