Ok, thank you for hints.

 From my dts file:

It is disabled by default. It will be enabled later by my 
device_initcall() function.

As the hdmi node.

Just for sure it is disabled too!

This is fixed. It will be changed during the device_initcall() functions.

The device_initcall() functions is looking for an eeprom on the lvds 
channel, and if found it will matched against the native-mode phandle.
If it is different from the default, a new native-mode will be placed as 
native-mode, and afterall the lvds-channel at 0 and ldb will be flagged in 
status as "okay".

Then the of_device_enable_and_register_by_name("ldb at 020e0008") will be 
called.

In the same way if an eeprom is found on the hdmi connector bus, the 
hdmi status will be changed to "okay".

If there is no display (so no eeprom either) connected on the lvds 
connector, the device_initcall() functions will let all ldb stuff as 
default (i.e. disabled) and it will enable the hdmi section if there is 
a hdmi display (and its eeprom EDID) connected.

The problem is the modeset of framebuffer (.num_modes): this list is 
created from the device-tree sequence and the default does not respect 
the native-mode section. i.e. if I have a 800x480 native mode display 
timing in the device tree as a third option, the fb0.modes will have the 
800x480 in the third place.

There is a quick (and dirty) way of calling the fb0.mode_name inside a 
device_initcall()?

Or I have to use the shell script in init to adapt it correctly?
