Progress

In pmaports!168 I used outdated cm11 kernel from LineageOS, it boots fine but I wasn't able to get the display working.

Then I switched to the kernel which is still maintained by GuaiYiHu from MoKee. By following the steps on Troubleshooting:display and Tuning_sysfs, the display was enabled.
