Do you know why, did they extend manufacturer firmware?

Sometimes there are more displays, e.g. the Theobroma has both HDMI and
DP. The Samsung Chromebook Plus has a built-in display and also HDMI
via USB-C [1]. Resolution and port switching logics would be all in the
firmware then, right?

Do you have any guess if the Chromebook Plus RK3399 would have a
firmware framebuffer?

Should you be able to run X using the wsfb driver on the firmware
framebuffer?
