[U-Boot] Why does logo_plot() not use video_display_bitmap()?

[Timur Tabi]

logo_plot() has its own code for rendering a bitmap, but this code is much
less capable than video_display_bitmap().  Why doesn't logo_plot() just call
video_display_bitmap() to draw the actual bitmap?

Dear Timur Tabi,

Because logo_plot() predates video_display_bitmap(), and the
implementors of the latter function did not bother to clean up
existing code?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

   can you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?

Ok, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some technical limitations
I didn't notice.  I'll look into merging the two functions together.
