Yes, I mentioned few guys in reply to PHY. Around the DRM drivers you
can get in touch with:
Inki Dae <inki.dae@samsung.com>
Seung-Woo Kim <sw0312.kim@samsung.com>
Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>
Andrzej Hajda <a.hajda@samsung.com>

The easiest testing of the display stack would be on Hardkernel's Odroid
XU4 (https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-xu4-special-price/) however
you will not test the DSI/DSIM directly (it has only HDMI port).
