Subject: [PATCH] video/udlfb: fix line counting in fb_write

commit b8c4321f3d194469007f5f5f2b34ec278c264a04 upstream.

Line 0 and 1 were both written to line 0 (on the display) and all subsequent
lines had an offset of -1. The result was that the last line on the display
was never overwritten by writes to /dev/fbN.
