Other boards seem to do this in lcd_enable. Perhaps that is also an
option.

The problem with doing it in lcd_enable is that it's akin to a side
effect, given what the function's name advertises. Preparing the splash
image can, however, be a natural part of the process that displays it.

mmm, I am not so sure I agree that loading a bitmap in lcd_enable is
a _problem_, while loading it in show logo and requiring a CONFIG_* is
_natural_.

Well, it is a problem. If we don't respect the abstractions we create
then things like function names become meaningless. A function called
"lcd_enable" should do just that- enable lcd. Not load stuff from
storage to memory or manipulate BMPs.


But anyway, can't this at least be changed to a __weak function, so the
CONFIG and ifdef stuff can be dropped?

The motivation behind the CONFIG was to make it a documentable user setting, rather than an undocumented feature buried in the code.


Regards,
Jeroen
