to keep things simple, here is the set of facts that i gathered:
a) With Hunyue patch(4ed427693dd7e0d4fd00a493988cefaa17accebc),
Framebuffer is enabled, BUT LCD backlight does not come on, nor does
anything come to the display. Intrestingly, as Hunyue mentioned, NO errors.
b) Patch from Paul (5c6cd5d71bdb1a8536238c7812f1dbd6a68bc542), enables
LCD on 2430SDP with LCD backlight and all.. This is the first patch that
makes 2430SDP LCD work and the error that i started this chain with exists!
c) all intermediate patches between (a) and (b) including the following:
Richard W (bbe8d2b1654809c39be2e9ecc91dd5632006a2cb)
Tony (517928578afaea422975fd8216242fdd067b56a2)
Tony(dd1d9a62f7cd60b544013eb429d6a3137617f0b2)
all retain the same state as I mentioned in (a).

Not much useful information except that my guess is FB LCD is broken on
2430SDP as of date and it is possibly broken from the time it is
enabled.. Since i do see Tony punching in a bunch every weekend, did
Hunyue test with the git latest once Tony finished pushing all patches?
- esp since May 25th is the time when the major clock/prcm  framework
patches from Paul W went into git.
