Replying to myself in this old thread...

These artifacts are caused by a bad LCD phase setting. AFAIK, there is
no Linux tool to fix it, and Linux inherits its value from the
bootloader. Bootloader reads in from the flash.

If you break your NAND flash, you loose these values and you need to
configure it again:

Boot with D+M, then configure LCD phase and frequency again. These
artifacts will disappear.

Note that test pattern is not well selected - these artifacts are much
better visible for black on gray than for white on black.
