I could imagine that at some point a generic USB protocol could serve simple displays (i.e. in the sense of USB HID or data or imaging). (Maybe Thunderbold already counts.) Anyway, USB should be reserved for this case.We end up calling those DisplayPort, since that's what's being transported over thunderbolt or usb-C. So the usb connector would be called usb-C. I think the reason we don't do fancy connector names is that adding them is a bit a pain. Plus drm/i915 specifically has some very quirky connector enumerating that doesn't match much with reality unfortunately anyway :-/
In the case of the other USB drivers, IIRC we use the connector type that is at the output (i.e., HDMI in the case of udl). I think we should do the same here. Or use 'Unknown'.
