In Barebox no problem at all (screen frequency apart. For every 
display-timing found it gives me @0 Hz...).

The problem is in Linux. The utility fbset is giving me 16bpp!!

The panel driver used (innolux,g101ice-l01) has the RGB888 format and 
the ldb in the device-tree section has fsl,data-width = <24>

This issue is present for every panel I use (lg,lb070wv8 and 
auo,b101aw03 too) so maybe some misconfiguration somewhere...

I was supposed to have 24 or 32 bit in the framebuffer driver using 
fbset... May be some fbset issue?

Some issue??? I have no Xorg. only fbdev
