one issue is that currently the outer L2-cache isn't handled by
Fiasco.OC (for the pandaboard). That means as long as it's enabled
(already by u-boot) it will contaminate DMA regions used by the
LCD-driver, that were already in the cache before.

So one interim fix is to use an u-boot version which doesn't enable the
L2-cache (CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF variable in u-boot config). It doesn't
explains the observed strange register values, but maybe this already
enables you to use the LCD?

We are still working at that L2-cache issue. First steps are done to
enable L2-cache invalidation in Fiasco.OC, but there are some problems
left. So please by now disable the L2-cache on the Pandaboard completely
before using any DMA driven devices (USB-networking and LCD).

Best regards
Stefan
