[PATCH 1/1] video: fix positioning in TrueType console

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Dear Anatolij,

somehow you lost track of this patch since March:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20210203161254.970-1-xypron.glpk@gmx.de/

Could you, please, review it and consider it for merging.

Best regards

Heinrich
