1. A method to dynamically configure a display controller based on configuration of a connected display panel, the method comprising:
detecting by the display controller that the display panel is connected with the display controller; and
responsive to detecting that the display panel is connected with the display controller, (i) determining by the display controller a configuration of the display panel, and (ii) based on the determined configuration of the display panel, dynamically configuring the display controller to interwork with the connected display panel having the determined configuration,
wherein dynamically configuring the display controller comprises an operation selected from the group consisting of (a) dynamically configuring whether the display controller will engage in backlight-dimming control of the display panel, (b) dynamically configuring whether the display controller will engage in zone-based dimming control of the display panel, and (c) dynamically configuring the display controller to normalize ambient-light-sensor readings from the display panel.
