I don't have any of those boards, and I'm totally unfamiliar with DM3730 
and AM3517, so I can't if the mainline works with them or not. But I 
presume DM3730 and AM3517 are using the same DSS hardware than OMAPs? 
 From DSS driver's perspective everything should be there, and if their 
board files contain the definitions for the displays, then they should work.

So are you using the DVI output or what? If so, is the DVI framer 
enabled? Is pin muxing set up correctly?
