I made a post about this exact thing here a couple of months back, and 
received little help. One user was kind enough to get me started with some 
code that he had written for a Minix driver for that chip, but it only had 
the EDID driver code. So, I went on a manhunt to find anything I could. I 
knew that all of the information I was looking for had to be in a Linux 
kernel somewhere, so I started there. Here is the best code I have found to 
date:

https://github.com/rabeeh/linux-2.6.32.9/tree/c04795236fe2cb5024b0e6f278ec59346afd43b3/drivers/video/display/nxp

This is the code for a full driver for the TDA19988 chip. Be warned, this 
chip is pretty complex compared to other components I have interfaced with. 
I have made some really good progress on my bare metal implementation and 
hope to have some code posted in a couple of weeks that anyone can start 
using. But again, this is a bare metal driver, not a Linux driver. 

Gerald,

Would it be OK if I contacted you for the information you have? Maybe what 
you have will help me complete my driver a little faster so that I can 
share it with the community. There's obviously some interest in this. I 
would venture to say that if some easy-to-use code existed, the interest 
would be much higher :)
