For simple panel you can take a look at [1][2]. Ie. if the panel needs
only power supply and enable gpio, you just need to add few lines to [2].

simple-dpi is just parallel output. LVDS is not supported by Exynos4412 but
boards usually have RGB/LVDS bridge for such panels, I have no access to
itop
board schematics, but I suppose it has such bridge. LVDS bridges often
do not
need Linux driver, so from developer point of view LVDS panels with such
bridge
are handled the same way as RGB panels. Example fimd bindings for RGB panels
are in [3].

You can look at vendor's code. Or just experiment with different values.
The equation is: total=active+back_porch+blank+front_porch.
So if htotal=864, hactive=800, hblank=64, then hporches are 0.
In case of vtotal=1288, vactive=1200, vblank=8 you have left 80 for porches,
you can try to split them equally for front and back for starters.
