Models don't have any bridges or DVI transmitters, they use the
framebuffer address that gets programmed into the PL111 registers as the
address where they read from in order to render to screen. At least that
is what happens for HDLCD, I'm afraid I have limited knowledge about the
PL111 implementation in the model.
