I did the same thing. My display was also not listed as a supported device. I
added the product ID (0x9226) to appledisplay.c, build the module, copied it
over the existing module at /lib/modules and ran depmod. Now the module is
loaded by udev but still bound to hid-generic because this module is loaded
fist I guess. I did not rebuild the whole kernel. Just replaced the module
because currently I am using the ubuntu 18.10 kernel. The driver works fine
when I manually unbind the hid driver from the device and reinsert the
appledisplay driver.
