This is not only case of spitz. I've seen LCD image falling apart on pxafb on Voipac PXA270 board. The image was like "torn in half and part of it was moved to right, the hole between staying white".
This happened exactly when I started doing a DMA transfer from a harddrive attached through pata_pxa. It's perfectly replicable. If I disabled DMA and let it run only in PIO, the image was fine.
I assume the corruption Pavel was seeing is related. My guess is the problems are caused when DMA between the CPU and a companion chip happens. I dunno if the DMA controller doesn't have enough power to supply LCD and the companion chip with data, but that's one of my guesses.
btw. Adjusting the DMA descriptor length in pata_pxa didn't help.
Guys, we need to investigate this as it seems to cause problems on many places.
