Does the hardware > absolutely require the LVDS be killed for programming? We have to fix up the LVDS ->prepare hook to just un-write protect the timing regs. That should work on most chips for most operations (though I think we still have to shut things down to enable or disable the panel fitter). The early printk thing is a good point; we'll probably want to do something like ppc for debugging purposes: map the framebuffer passed to the kernel and use btext on it to catch early problems.
