The only reason I caught this issue was because I implemented LCD output in
U-Boot and saw it looked a little better- I thought the tint was the backlight.
Had you not contacted me and had it not affected the person I'm doing
work for I would not have bothered looking in to this.
It's entirely possible that the other supported devices have this issue,
or that future ones will and nobody will notice.

Going with a preventative approach here by fixing it for all potential devices
and relying on the behaviour the sunxi code assumes rather than the datasheet
says seems like the best approach to me.
