You could try it for some hacking and testing, perhaps, but not
recommended for normal use.

Generally speaking, we don't know about the IEGD driver on this
list. Check wherever you got that driver from, or see [1] for generic
hardware documentation.

Must be a special board to have multiple LVDS panels; I'm not even sure
we support that in the i915 driver.
For at least getting one to work, you could fabricate an EDID, make sure
your kernel has CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE=y, and set
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=<connector>:<file> module parameter. See
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for details on the parameter.
Oh, also please enable drm.debug=0xe module parameter, and attach the
dmesg all the way from early boot. That will give us more details about
your hardware, and maybe some ideas what to try.
BR,
Jani.
