The old omapfb driver (drivers/video/omap/) only supports omap1. The
unused omap2 code was removed.
What I would probably do is get an old kernel that has working display.
Then add some hacks to get register dumps for RFBI, blizzard and the
panel, and see what gpios, regulators, etc are turned on and connected
to blizzard or the panel.
And then just start from scratch with the latest kernel, copy-pasting
parts of the driver.
That's more or less what I did when I made the N800 display work with
the new omapfb and omapdss (drivers/video/omap2/).
