Nope, there's everything right. I can reproduce this here on a GuF Santaro board. LVDS works fine on current barebox as long as I leave hdmi disabled in the device tree. When I enable hdmi I also get a "failed to get modes". Normally when different outputs are available then one would expect that each one of them is routed to some framebuffer, maybe with some sane default and configurable during runtime. The current code falls short here. What happens is each framebuffer looks around for outputs, all finding hdmi and lvds. Now the hdmi output may not have a monitor connected and returns no valid mode. In this case the lvds is not even asked for modes. Also in the current code it can happen that the lvds is asked for modes which are then applied to hdmi. Where we currently are is that it should work when exactly one output is enabled. Does lvds work properly when hdmi is disabled? In this case I would suggest that you manipulate your devicetree so that exactly one output is enabled.
