A lot of the code is already in the driver.  The issue is around the
VT1625 support in the driver, which has been coded but clearly has some
bugs.  I've looked at this code a little bit but I haven't had enough
time to make any headway.  I don't know of any hardware documentation,
but I haven't looked.

There are some new via 'nano-ITX' boards that should support HD output,
but they won't work any better than the commell board because they have
the VT1625 on those boards as well.
