Adding Troy, I'm no longer a full-time employee at Boundary Devices.

Does this happen if the LVDS is disabled in cmdline? (adding "video=LVDS-1:d")

Note that a bootscript was written for mainline kernel that takes care
of display configuration [1].

Currently this bootscript disables all the displays that aren't used.
It was tested with HDMI, where LVDS and LCD display are disabled, and
it *used to* work.

If this doesn't work then there's most likely a regression somewhere.
