Can we use the following patch to fix this issue?
--->8---
---8<---

It first initializes the lcd console with LCD base, if the splash screen 
is used, new address is updated.

I need this kind of fix to be applied as soon as possible, or else, most 
Atmel related board are broken on u-boot master branch.

Best Regards,
Bo Shen

I think this is the best approach. I am very close to posting the next step in my refactor of lcd.c, and I can
incorporate it in the series. I will greatly appreciate your help in testing this series, since it involves Atmel
related changes.

Thanks for review. I think send this fix patch first, and then you can 
based on this patch for your next step, or else, we can not know how 
long it will break most Atmel SoC related boards on master branch. So, I 
will send this patch and try to get it applied as soon as possible.

Thanks again.
