The Nuvoton MA35D1 SoC integrates a Verisilicon DCUltraLite display
controller (DC8000 generation) whose register layout differs from
the DC8200 in several important ways:

1. No CONFIG_EX commit path: framebuffer updates use the enable (bit
0)
   and reset (bit 4) bits in FB_CONFIG instead of the DC8200 staging
   registers (FB_CONFIG_EX, FB_TOP_LEFT, FB_BOTTOM_RIGHT,
   FB_BLEND_CONFIG, PANEL_CONFIG_EX).

2. No PANEL_START register: panel output starts when
   PANEL_CONFIG.RUNNING is set; there is no multi-display sync start
   register.

3. Different IRQ registers: DCUltraLite uses DISP_IRQ_STA (0x147C) /
   DISP_IRQ_EN (0x1480) versus DC8200's TOP_IRQ_ACK (0x0010) /
   TOP_IRQ_EN (0x0014).

4. Simpler clock topology: only 'core' (bus gate) and 'pix0' (pixel
   divider) clocks; no axi or ahb clocks required.

Maybe a warning for unknown IRQ bits should be added here.

Thanks,

I will add the same `drm_WARN_ONCE` pattern in `vs_dc8000_irq_ack` for
unknown `VSDC_DISP_IRQ_STA` bits.
