This is as if lcd_shutdown() didn't properly shut down the LCD. It
certainly is called from shutdown_hw(). I guess it could just be due to
memory corruption.

That is sufficient.

There is need to test dma.* or nodma.* via pp502x_cache_test.rock
separately. They have exactly the same workaround as /.rockbox/rockbox.*.

Yeah, I misspoke regarding the 1G Nano in the exceptions section. I
meant pp502x_cache_test/dma.ipod not p502x_cache_test/dma.mi4.

Note that if you want to test DMA on the 1G Nano during normal
operation, you should replace /.rockbox/rockbox.ipod with
/pp502x_cache_test/dma.ipod. On the GoGear HDD6330, you need to replace
/rockbox/rockbox.mi4 with /pp502x_cache_test/dma.mi4. All others have
DMA enabled in /.rockbox/rockbox.*, but for these two I thought they
have device-specific problems with DMA which could make a build with DMA
totally unusable. I did it this way to ensure the normal boot works,
mismatches can be tested, and DMA can first be tested by loading
dma.ipod via rolo.

Thanks for testing!
