I'm working on adding support to QEMU for some of the boards that the company
I work for develops. The boards have a PXA270 and an FPGA to implement
additional functionality, such as a dedicated graphics controller. The
problem I'm facing now is that whenever the dedicated graphics controller is
initialized in QEMU it registers as a secondary DisplayState because the
PXA2xx LCD is already present.
Is there a way to make QEMU ignore the PXA2xx LCD or prefer the dedicated
controller as primary DisplayState? The only way I could find was to comment
out the PXA2xx LCD initialization or patch the sources to disable the LCD
using a flag during PXA2xx setup.

As far as I know there's currently no way to achieve it except for commenting out the code or changing the order of initialization. Note that once the "devtree" patch is merged and the PXA2xx code is migrated to it then it will be possible to create a machine description that will not contain the LCD controller. Such machine description doesn't require recompiling of whole QEMU to use it.
