A couple more points:

BTW, I tried the same tests on Springbank which is basically Seaboard
with a slightly different PCB layout, and didn't see this issue. That
leads me to suspect some timing issue interacting with the panel, which
I believe is different albeit theoretically compatible
resolution/scan-timing wise.

Second, I first applied Tom's Tegra30 patches and tested those, then
applied your LCD series. The LCD series as-is breaks compilation of the
Tegra30 support. I have no idea which order Tom might apply these in,
but this is a heads-up there will be conflicts and one needs to be
rebased on top of the other.
