Hmm, a lot of LCD hardware have this sort of problem. If you do not
have a hardware option to change how the data is to be displayed (such
as rotate 90 degrees the other way), you can do at least two things:
1. have your own fbcon-cfb*.c functions that draws, clears and moves
pixels from top->bottom, right->left (90 degrees CW) or bottom->top,
left->right (90 degrees CCW). You may also want to pre-rotate
display->fontdata in your xxxfb_setup routine, so you don't degrade
performance. You also need to modify the fbcon_show_logo in fbcon.c to
do the same thing. The advantage of this method is you're going to have
a fairly efficient framebuffer console, the disadvantage is user
applications will not work.
2. The second method is to allocate a virtual framebuffer. Then on a
periodic basis, you transfer the data in the virtual framebuffer to the
actual framebuffer, doing the rotating on the fly. The advantage of
this method is user applications should work, the disadvantage is it is
not the most efficient method.
You can look at:

(authored by Henry)
for a template on how to implement #2. You still have to implement the
rotation yourself. If you have questions rotating the data, let me
know.
