[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 14/19] lcd: Add support for flushing LCD fb from dcache after update

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Wed Jun 13 18:19:50 CEST 2012


This provides an option for the LCD to flush the dcache after each update
(puts, scroll or clear).

Changes in v2:
- Put the LCD cache flush logic into lcd_putc() instead of lcd_puts()
