[Bug 1395872] [NEW] red and blue colors swapped in fbdev driver

 

Public bug reported:

Machine is a Tegra K1 based chromebook running Ubuntu with xorg framebuffer driver.
A detailed discussion about the color problem can be found here: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/1089

There has been a fix in the file hw/xfree86/fbdevhw/fbdevhw.c which is marked "XXX: This is a hack" as reported via 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338241 . The fix is obviously incorrect for this ARM platform.
Everything works as expected if the patch is removed.
