It is feasible to use a single CRTC with two connectors, for instance in
case of a VGA and an HDMI connector; so this subtest can't be removed.

There are invalid configurations when each connector uses its own CRTC,
for instance when a connector uses a CRTC not compatible with the
connector. So this subtest can't be removed either.

I suppose you're fixing a problem where a subtest is failing if there
are no dynamic tests defined for it, on some platforms. In that case
the subtest should be made to pass explicitly, perhaps by ensuring that
there is at least one dynamic test defined for each subtest.
