There's a really big pile of additional connector properties, a lot of
them standardized. But they're all for specific outputs (panels, TV,
scaling, ...) so I left them out for now since this is enough for a
start.
I typed this to give Manasi a place to add her new link status
property documentation.
v2: forgot to git add all the bits (Manasi).
v3: Be more epxlicit about integrated tiled panels (Archit)

+/**
+ * DOC: standard connector properties
+ *
+ * DRM connectors have a few standardized properties:
+ *
+ * EDID:
+ * Blob property which contains the current EDID read from the sink. This
+ * is useful to parse sink identification information like vendor, model
+ * and serial. Drivers should update this property by calling
+ * drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property(), usually after having parsed
+ * the EDID using drm_add_edid_modes(). Userspace cannot change this
+ * property.
+ * DPMS:
+ * Legacy property for setting the power state of the connector. For atomic
+ * drivers this is only provided for backwards compatibility with existing
+ * drivers, it remaps to controlling the "ACTIVE" property on the CRTC the
+ * connector is linked to. Drivers should never set this property directly,
+ * it is handled by the DRM core by calling the ->dpms() callback in
+ * &drm_connector_funcs. Atomic drivers should implement this hook using
+ * drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms(). This is the only property standard
+ * connector property that userspace can change.
+ * PATH:
+ * Connector path property to identify how this sink is physically
+ * connected. Used by DP MST. This should be set by calling
+ * drm_mode_connector_set_path_property(), in the case of DP MST with the
+ * path property the MST manager created. Userspace cannot change this
+ * property.
+ * TILE:
+ * Connector tile group property to indicate how a set of DRM connector
+ * compose together into one logical screen. This is used by both high-res
+ * external screens (often only using a single cable, but exposing multiple
+ * DP MST sinks), or high-res integrated panels (like dual-link DSI) which
+ * are not gen-locked. Note that for tiled panels which are genlocked, like
+ * dual-link LVDS or dual-link DSI, the driver should try to not expose the
+ * tiling and virtualize both &drm_crtc and &drm_plane if needed. Drivers
+ * should update this value using drm_mode_connector_set_tile_property().
+ * Userspace cannot change this property.
+ *
+ * Connectors also have one standardized atomic property:
+ *
+ * CRTC_ID:
+ * Mode object ID of the &drm_crtc this connector should be connected to.
