Bo Shen (1): video: atmel: implement lcd_setcolreg funtion
What is the point of adding this function? This does not seem to be a strong override of a weak symbol, and therefore, it is dead code unless this patch is a dependency of one or several other patches -- in which case, please submit the other patch(es) along this one in your PR.
Wu, Josh (1): at91: move get_chip_id() and get_extension_chip_id() to cpu.c, which can share with all at91 board.
This one, despite being a cleaner rewrite, also seems to be a preparatory patch waiting to be used.
The whole PR is dead/dormant code. Please resubmit when dependent patches are added (or consider rolling back your master until you get these dependent patches).
Amicalement,

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.
The whole PR is dead/dormant code. Please resubmit when dependent patches are added (or consider rolling back your master until you get these dependent patches).
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.
