[A64] LVDS display

[lilianEver]

Hello,

I want to add LVDS display to my olimex board.
I will deactivate the ethernet component with the hardware jumper. (ref: topic)


The display i want to use: display


I have take a look here :
- http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort
- Overlay from other board : lcd-olinuxino-15.6.dts


What i need to do to make my display work using LVDS on my olimex board ?
I need to adapt a dts file ?
Enable specific module in the kernel ?

Progress update

Kernel:
I have activated two modules in the kernel (/etc/modules). I suppose i need them to make the communication work:
- lvds-codec
- panel-lvds

Overlay:

I have modified the "sun4i-a10" overlay for the olimex A64 and my display.
New file:

};

fragment@2 {

__overlay__ {
lcd_lvds0_pins: lcd-lvds0-pins {
pins = "PD12", "PD13", "PD14", "PD15", "PD16",
       "PD17", "PD18", "PD19", "PD20", "PD21";
function = "lvds0";
};
};
};

fragment@3 {

__overlay__ {
tcon0_out_panel: endpoint@0 {
reg = <0>;
remote-endpoint = <&panel_in_tcon0>;
};
};
};
};

I had try to add this overlay but i think i got wrongs settings that disable all custom overlay added. Adding this overlay disable the mcp215x i have added in (this topic).

Command result:

dmesg | grep lvds
[    5.516865] Modules linked in: cpufreq_dt mcp251x can_dev panel_lvds lvds_codec micrel pinctrl_axp209 dwmac_sun8i mdio_mux
It is difficult to know what settings are wrongs and how changes them correctly. 
It is possible to make LVDS work on this board ?

Do you know some additional command to control overlays or lvds configuration other than "dmesg" ?
