[ 055/171] video: mxsfb: fix crash when unblanking the display

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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

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

From: Lothar WaÃmann <LW@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6c1ecba8d84841277d68140ef485335d5be28485 upstream.

The VDCTRL4 register does not provide the MXS SET/CLR/TOGGLE feature.
The write in mxsfb_disable_controller() sets the data_cnt for the LCD
DMA to 0 which obviously means the max. count for the LCD DMA and
leads to overwriting arbitrary memory when the display is unblanked.
