This one is required for http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/196566/ and
was explicitly requested in a private mail to Bo to support for getting
the RFC working
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/145434). So you
are right here, currently it is dead code and could maybe added to a series.

On the other hand the lcd_setcolreg() is exported via include/lcd.h but
not provided by the atmel_hlcd driver which is an error.

Well, the get_*chip_id() are already used by some macros but only for a
single variant of at91. So you are right here when you call it
'preparatory', but it is not dead code as you may think.

However I rolled back the u-boot-atmel/master and will provide a series
for patch 1, patch 2 is so far NAKed until we get a user for that
reworked code.
