Subject: parallel panel display stopped working

Parallel (4 bits)  panel display stopped working.
I have no time right now to bisect but I have noticed there was quite
a pile of patches from Lars to the driver recently (yeah, it seems for
a few months I haven't run my tests against the AUX display driver).

I believe the issue is there somewhere.

Moreover on the removal I have got an oops

Just for your information and with hope that somebody may test and/or
reproduce this and fix it. Later on I might find time to bisect the
other issue I mentioned above.
