OK, so I think that these are not the HDMI/DP outputs connected to
your secondary device. They are the ones connected to your primary
device (might not be pinned out, or might only be available via an
optional dock). Normally there'd be an extra -1- in the name of such
outputs. But who knows with modesetting - perhaps it doesn't stick
that in and sticks 100% to the kernel names.

Have a look at https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/ for some
details on how to set up output offloading. The short version is that
you want to do something like

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0

If that doesn't help, grab the output of

grep . /sys/class/drm/card*-*/status
grep . /sys/class/drm/card*-*/modes

preferably while something is plugged into one of your NVIDIA-attached
connectors. When X first starts, it appears to get an EDID just fine
for your secondary GPU's DP-1 output...

Cheers,
