@gsuberland That's my point, I expect the panel to outlive whatever the smarts are.
Why not just make them physically separate devices? I don't see the benefit.
If you want to have an internal connector for a socketed gizmo that blind-mates to a USB-C power port and HDMI output and ship that from the factory, great. As long as I can remove it and use those connectors myself without impairing other functionality.
