Are you using fbcon-cfb4.c to draw the characters?  Is the whole display
mirrored, including individual characters?  If you run an fb-based app
(like fbtest for instance), is the display also mirrored?

If it's the whole display, maybe your hardware supports mirroring (some
hardware with video overlay need this to support YUV formats that are
either vertically or horizontally mirrored).  Maybe it has something
like that.  Otherwise, it will be difficult to correct this without
rewriting practically everything.
