I transfer all the GPIO setting to my code.
After this, the linux can turn the monitor on, but in BIOS stage, monitor can
not be turn on.
Is that the way it is? Can BIOS turn the display on?

don't know why GOP+SeaVGABIOS fails but an Intel VBIOS extracted from
memory never worked for me. You might have more luck by extracting it
from a firmware image with uefitool.

Looks rather good:

This means most already succeeded. The FSP/GOP driver run and set a
framebuffer up. Maybe the problem is that the backlight stays dark?
Since Skylake, coreboot lacks all backlight initialization. Only the
GOP driver can set it up and whether that works depends on your VBT.
I would try with a bright light to spot something on the screen to
confirm if it's a backlight issue.
Where did you get the VBT from?

PS. Btw. the lack of backlight initialization is all that keeps you
from using a reliable, pure open-source solution. libgfxinit
already works well for Skylake. Just coreboot doesn't do it's
job for the backlight.
