You're probably right. I was just looking at a dmesg wondering which
connector it's training there...

Although with MST it of course doesn't match up with anything
that the user thinks as a connected connector. So a bit annoying.
And using a single MST connector wouldn't really lead to a
coherent debug message either since there could be many MST
connectors active on the same link :/
