$ zgrep CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE=y

$ dmesg
[  365.595787]   nonstd = 2

It didn't change anything.

I looked up the code that is affected by this change, and only the 
cbf*.c files use the rev/swap/shift functions from fb_draw.h
I use the sys_* modules not cbf*
In principle the driver is like fb_ssd1307. It copies the framebuffer to 
RAM in the LCD controller at deferred_io intervals.
