LEGO has not made the internals of the display publicly available, so I 
cannot say for sure. But I assume that IF[3:1] is hardwired to 011. This 
causes pin D1 to assigned to the signal A0, which is what we are calling 
the dc gpio here.

If IF[3:1] were hardwired to 010, then pin D1 would be not not used and 
there would be no A0 signal.

So, basically, we can infer the state of IF[3:1] by the fact that we 
have a dc pin or not.

I am afraid that I do not understand this request. What would the source 
of the panel be? There is nothing like a SoC LCD controller that is 
driving this panel.
