The full story
The owner had run OpenMediaVault on a LenovoEMC px4-300d NAS for a couple of years and always wanted its LCD panel working on Linux. Existing projects covered a related model or relied on an old driver.
They got it working with a heavily modified version of the lpc_ich kernel driver, and published the kernel module with documentation. They say Claude did most of the troubleshooting and development.
