The chip is GM7123. It is not configurable. It just takes the LCD RGB/SYNC
signals and converts them to analog. The only things you can change are
putting it into sleep mode and tweaking the output drive strength by
changing the external reference resistor. The latter would be a hardware
design decision. I would say this qualifies as "dumb".

I revisited the board schematics, and the enable GPIO actually toggles
an external LDO regulator. So this might be better modeled as a regulator
supply?
