Hm, I still don't get what your patch does.  Is this the wiring which is
actually used on the at91sam9263ek?  If so, then why does your patch not
add this symbol in include/configs/at91sam9263ek.h?  In there I see the
said CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD_BGR555.  That symbol is also defined for the
at91cap9adk, at91sam9261ek and pm9263.h.  So what I would really like to
know - is the interpretation of CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD_BGR555 correct in
U-Boot and only the at91sam9263ek is wired up differently?  Or should
rather the interpretation of CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD_BGR555 be fixed?

Ah, so this means that the at91sam9263ek is special compared to the
other boards listed above and should be treated differently, right?
Well in this case, your patch certainly needs to change
include/configs/at91sam9263ek.h.

Cheers
