This was last tested on 3.9-rc3 I think: bits-per-pixel = <16>; bus-width = <18>; But it's also true we have all 24 data lines routed to the LCD.

Hi Shawn,

Ah, yes, sorry, I somehow got confused and thought you were the one that
wrote the driver.
I'll resend the patch.
Maxime

The current code always registers as a 32 bits display, and uses the hardware to drop the MSB of each color to abjust to the interface width used by the panel. This results on 18 bits (and probably 16 bits display as well) in colors being displayed poorly, because the MSB are obviously the most important bits for each color definition. The default controller behaviour when using an interface width smaller than the color depth is to drop the LSBs of each color, which makes more sense because you lose the least important part of the color definition. So, to fix the colors display, just get back to the default controller behaviour.
