Two things: the RealView EB, PB11MPCore, PBA8, PBA9 nor
the integrator board have the character LCD.

Then I've added a driver for the Char LCD so that you loose this
information if you use the LCD for anything, but yes, it is available
while booting.

No problem, this was mainly to get it out as early as possible.
I'll fix it up.
