Agree but I need to have the panel. Do you know if we have users of this panel?
I don't want to break the users off course. Can I have your clk_tree
dbg of your devices
the panel datasheet?

Do you have any contact in allwinner?

Let's be this last email, I don't want to bother the people more.
After I get the panel
info and datasheet I will come back if I found a solution that does not break it
