If the PCB containing the controller chips and the panel are part of a single
casing, and the set up won't work with another panel, then yeah, I agree. If the
bridge chips are on a separate adapter board, and there is a possibility to connect
other panels, then maybe a separate DRM bridge and a DRM panel might be a safer bet.
