This fixes following warning only generated with eldk-4.2:

---8<---
lcd.c: In function 'bitmap_plot':
lcd.c:527: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

Are you _sure_ this is the right fix ? Why is the atmel LCD driver so separate 
anyway?

Thanks!

yes, I am. This patch is runtime tested on an at91sam9263ek.

I first tried to consolidate the cmap and just use the ushort as in the
else path. But unfortunately this require some more rework of this driver.

Sorry, I don't know. This should really be reworked some time.
But I think for now this quick fix can be applied to silence your
eldk-4.2 warning.

Can you do such rework? You're the atmel guy afterall.

I don't like hiding problems, can we aim for a proper solution please?

I can do such rework, although I have currently not much time to work on
that issue. Until 2013.01 release in January this should be doable but
not in the next few days until MW closes.

You are right, we should do so.
