OpenWRT has patches to make the old blizzard driver work:

http://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt.git;a=tree;f=target/linux/omap24xx/patches-3.3;h=c0cece34bf0a5f37496015c8e76c7eae636efe06;hb=HEAD

See 310-n810-lcd.patch, and also you will need at least
312-no-hwmod-reset.patch, otherwise the HW won't respond at all.

There is no known kernel tree with "new" (now deleted) panel-n8x0 that
would work on N8x0.

So probably the easiest route would be to take the old blizzard driver,
forward port it to current kernel (the old omapfb is still supported)
together with OpenWRT patches. This would probably get a working display
with minor effort. Then start rewriting that code for the new framework
and DT etc.
