Hmm, I don't think anything we do will fix the case of people just
trying to upgrade u-boot but keeping an old environment.  Fixing the
partitioning information as the kernel sees it won't alter the actual
partition layout in flash, we're going to need the user's help there,
and if they're repartitioning their flash there's a good chance they
just nuked their old environment anyway.

Right, I give in, prolly best to just keep the LCD support disabled by
default, stick a page on the 'freaks wiki explaining all the steps to
turn it on and try and point as many people towards that as possible.
