After enable log printing to lcd,when
the screen start scroll,system crash,
log is shown as bellow.

"Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000045
"Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000045

Checking the source code, we found that the
variate "pixels" get a wrong value.

int pixels = VIDEO_FONT_HEIGHT * vid_priv->line_length;

"pixels" here means the value of pixels for
a character,rather than the byte for a
character. so the variate "pixels" is 4 times
bigger than it's exact value. which will cause
the memory overflow when the cpu run the
following code.

for (i = 0; i < pixels; i++)
    *dst++ = clr; <<----
