Hmm... I have here an imx6dl based system, and it draws two logos when booting...
I can prevent this two logos, if I do:

diff --git a/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c b/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c
index 0705d88..e907ab9 100644
--- a/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c
+++ b/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c
@@ -664,8 +672,7 @@ int fb_show_logo(struct fb_info *info, int rotate)
{
int y;

- y = fb_show_logo_line(info, rotate, fb_logo.logo, 0,
- num_online_cpus());
+ y = fb_show_logo_line(info, rotate, fb_logo.logo, 0, 1);
y = fb_show_extra_logos(info, y, rotate);

return y;

I don;t know, it was just a question ... If this is not possible, we
do not need to cover such a case, good!
