Fair enough. They are all gone in v6: the colour and the BMP's name
are set in Kconfig only, and the patch that let the command line win
over the device tree is dropped.

It is in v6.

The image is drawn in two steps in v6, as you suggested on patch 9:
the BMP into an XRGB8888 buffer, then that into the framebuffer's
format. The second step should move onto such an interface without
much change once there is one.

Thanks. v6 rebuilds the scanouts on every hotplug and keeps the old
ones on screen until the new ones are committed. I will send it
shortly.

Best regards,
