The ASUS C201 comes with an 11.6inch EDP display. I was wondering if you could simply swap it for a 15'' EDP display. I tried it, but as expected it didn't work, however the backlight came on and I had the following logs:

It looks to me (as a complete noob) that the display (http://www.yslcd.com.tw/docs/product/N156HGE-EAB.pdf) needs around 3.3 volts.
Looking at the code, it seems the ./src/soc/rockchip/common/edp.c handles this part of the booting process. Line 38 seems to imply the maximum voltage is 1.2v.
---------------------------------------------------------------- static const char *voltage_names[] = { "0.4V", "0.6V", "0.8V", "1.2V" }; ----------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a reason this is the maximum? Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much information on the specifications of the C201, I guess as it's not really an open machine. Maybe the motherboard can only handle that voltage?
I'm extremely new to coreboot, and to be honest not even sure the C201 can even handle a 15'' display. Does anyone know if I'm on the right track, or if this is a pointless exercise?
Thank you and sorry if these are silly questions.
