You are right; the null splashimage scenario was apparently a bad choice of
example. However, lcd_display_bitmap is not a static function, and it 
appears
in lcd.h. This means that someone might use it outside of common/lcd.c 
context,
and for that reason it should be made more fault tolerant.

I'll resubmit the patch without the splashimage example in the commit 
message.
