I wasn't sure that everybody involved agreed with the patch.
@Juergen, would the patch break your platform?
Additionally, the guys from Crystalfontz didn't comment on it, but their platform is 
also using a 18bit data bus width and 32bpp.

If no-one is against I'll be glad to submit it.

Best regards,
