[U-Boot] splash screen on uboot 1.3.4

Hi,
I am working on s3c2416 ARM9 based processor. The u-boot version used is u-boot 1.3.4. This u-boot does not have the splash screen implemented on the source code.
To enable the splash screen, I defined CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN in include/configs/smdk2416.h file. Now I get the error "undefined reference to `video_display_bitmap'". So, the frame buffer driver was not initialized in my bootloader.
I have the reference code for LCD initialization in the kernel driver, so I thought of implementing a similar initialization on the bootloader also.
I am confused, from where to start the initialization for the LCD in the bootloader. Should I start writing the driver from scratch, or is there any reference code from I can start of for the LCD initialization.
Should I add one more initialization sequence inside *init_sequence[] array in the start_armboot function, or can I make use of the drv_lcd_init inside common/lcd.c file.
what would be a better approach to start with ?
Thank You With Regards GIGIN JOSE

Well, it does. Maybe not on your boards, but splash screen support is actually way older.

Start using recent code, i. e. tip of tree of the git repository. v1.3.4 is 4 years old - it makes no sense wasting any time on that old stuff.
