    drm/udl: fix display corruption of the last line · 99ec9e77
    Mikulas Patocka authored
    The displaylink hardware has such a peculiarity that it doesn't render a
    command until next command is received. This produces occasional
    corruption, such as when setting 22x11 font on the console, only the first
    line of the cursor will be blinking if the cursor is located at some
    specific columns.
    
    When we end up with a repeating pixel, the driver has a bug that it leaves
    one uninitialized byte after the command (and this byte is enough to flush
    the command and render it - thus it fixes the screen corruption), however
    whe we end up with a non-repeating pixel, there is no byte appended and
    this results in temporary screen corruption.
    
    This patch fixes the screen corruption by always appending a byte 0xAF at
    the end of URB. It also removes the uninitialized byte.
