Yes, I've had the same thoughts about this as well. I was even pondering
pulling enough code in a "kernel compat" library/headers to be able to
compile intel_ddi.c and sync it with the kernel one, once in a while.
Crazy.

I like your idea of adding the wrpll test to testdisplay, not
volunteering for that at the moment though :)
