This "fault" was masked in the past due to wrong handling of
LCD_PALMODE_RAWDATA bit,
which was fixed with commit ac5c61bfa6ad24a5384b9b89902e024a994f715f
(drivers/video/am335x-fb: Fix bits for LCD_PALMODE_RAWDATA definition).
So now the things are coming out and screen output is shifted.
NOTE: According to the TRM, even in 16/24bit mode a palette is required
in the first 32 bytes of the framebuffer.

"In this mode, the LCDC will assume all information is data and thus you
need to ensure that the DMA points to the first pixel of data and not the
first entry in the frame buffer which is the beginning of the 512 byte
palette."
Correct.

In theory we don't need anymore this palette offset of 0x20 byte,
because DMA is fetching startign behind this offset.
But in praxis we have to use the offset also in future for compatibility
reasons, because there may some OS which is writing to our
bare-framebuffer starting at 32byte offset.
For example, my vxWorks is doing so ;-(
Also the wording within the TRM (spruh73l.pdf) about this topic isn't
fully clear to me, on page 1842 they say:
"
12-, 16-, and 24-BPP modes do not need a palette; i.e., the pixel data
is the desired RGB value.
However, the first 32 bytes are still considered a palette. The first
entry should be 4000h (bit 14 is 1) while the remaining entries must be
filled with 0.
"
Exactly as we do today.
Few pages later, 1874, description from the RASTER_CTRL register they
write for our case:
"Data loading only For Raw Data (12/16/24 bpp) framebuffers, no palette
lookup is employed."
I've tested removing this offset and it works as expected:
- fine display in u-boot
- garbage within my vxWorks :-)
Finally i think we have to leave it as it is, 0x20 bytes offset.

I've done my test with 32bit framebuffer.
Martin, i think your'e testing with 16bit - right?
many thanks for picking up this and
best regards,
Hannes - OE5HPM
