Hello Vijay,

did you have a look at the SPI of the HDMI framer? What is it used for
according to the data sheet? Is it necessary for the driver?

>From our chat discussions and my own tests I know that the screen is
still not receiving a signal. So I would assume some quite basic
problem. If your new mmap wouldn't work, you should still get at least a
black screen.
