40 pin laptop eDP screen - will it work with any 40 pin eDP control board?

I have a salvaged LP156WFG from a gaming laptop and would like to turn it into a portable monitor since it's ips and high refresh. From some preliminary searching the only boards that explicitly state compatibility are ancient and use weird inputs, so I'd like to avoid them if possible. I stumbled across one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000715818110.html that claims high refresh support but doesn't list any compatible panels. My question is this: why can't I use any random eDP controller board provided it is the correct pin and lane count?

 

Is there some driver that needs to be loaded onto these fpgas or something? My knowledge is extremely limited on the matter.

Daily Driver: Asus ROG Flow X13 - 5900HS/3050 Ti

Primary Desktop: NCase M1 - 5800X3D/RX 6950XT

Travel PC: Fractal Terra - 5800X/RTX 3060 Ti

I have too many computers. List here.
