What are the LCD-Dx lines for?


No idea. I'm not familiar with the CHIP Pro, just quickly read the datasheet. The SOC contains Mali400 GPU, so in theory it should capable for video output, but I can't find any mentioning whether the video capability is enabled in hardware/software level in CHIP Pro (i.e pins wired & Linux driver).

Raspberry Pi has similar problem: although it uses a SOC designed for mobile applications, there are no open source solutions to connect generic smartphone displays to DSI port, and HDMI is very bulky/over-engineered solution for transferring video signal over few centimeters. (Blame Broadcom, not the Foundation.)
