You can build sandbox defconfig an run U-Boot with "--show_lcd"
option, then run the "ut dm video_ansi" command to inspect the
rendered characters and colors, e.g.:

$ make sandbox_defconfig
$ make
$ ./u-boot -d arch/sandbox/dts/test.dtb -l

In the "U-Boot" window you will see the output of the video_ansi test.

Without your fix for masking bit 3 in the bg index, the high-intensity
background colors will be used, you will see brighter BG colors. The test
expects results for standard background colors (indexes 0-7).

Thanks! I've merged your fix for patch 2/8, no need to resend. Build-
testing now.
