Depending on the firmware's video options [1] the active SDTV or
HDTV mode can yield a framebuffer with noncontiguous horizontal lines,
giving a messed up display, for both, u-boot and the loaded kernel.

Fix this by setting lcd_line_length to the pitch value of the configured
framebuffer.

This sounds like the right concept.

Why make this conditional? Does the firmware sometimes not return the
correct pitch and/or does lcd_enable() get called before lcd_ctrl_init()
so the global hasn't been set up? Either of those seem like nasty bugs
that should be fixed...

Why set lcd_line_length at a different time than the mailbox message is
executed? Can't lcd_line_length be set at the end of lcd_ctrl_init(),
thus avoiding the global variable bcm2835_pitch?
