[ECOS] LCD on EP7211

The sample code in eCos works A-OK for me (I am using the 7212, but it's 
the same board). Are you 100% certain you have initialized your pointer 
correctly? I tested initially using the Alps grayscale 640x240 LCD and now 
I've interfaced a color QVGA LCD, which is working great! (with tweaking, 
of course).

However I did see some weird behavior with the lcd_printf routine (bad 
characters, garbage characters). Try commenting out all the places in the 
LCD test source that write to display memory; just call that file to init 
the LCD registers. Then try your manual memory write.
