Yes, the display controllers are only 1:1 for the RGB outputs. I'll
merge your proposed changes and see if I can come up with some code to
parse it.

I think we have some raw register documentation for VI but it's next to
impossible to really understand the hardware block just by looking at
the registers.

Okay. So I think apart from the carveout topic in the other subthread I
think we've settled on solutions for the remaining points. I'll try to
find some time to work all the changes into a new binding proposal and
get working on the code.
