3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Holler <holler at ahsoftware.de>

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.
