first, you have to
select GFX_GMA_INTERNAL_IS_LVDS
in your mainboard's Kconfig.
As you mentioned, your panel doesn't have an EDID EEPROM. Hence, you'll
have to hard-code your panel's native mode. Below is a POC patch how
that could look like (allows combinations with LVDS and additional auto-
detected displays). You'll have to find your own panel's timings. Either
from the datasheet, or you can try to fetch them from the VBT, e.g.
$ intel_vbt_decode lenovo/t430s/variants/t431s/data.vbt | grep timings
Underscan support for VGA timings: no
timings: 1600 1648 1680 1940 900 903 908 926 107800.00 (good)
Note: The clock is given in kHz in the VBT, but libgfxinit expects Hz.
BPC (bits per color) is almost always 6 for LVDS panels, and I guess
sync high/low doesn't matter for LVDS.
If you get that working, we can try to design a reasonable API for pre-
defined modes. For instance, the `gma-mainboard.ads` could provide a
set of Pipe_Configs and we'd only scan for additional displays. That
would also be useful to skip EDID reading to speed things up ;)
