This could have multiple rot causes. First, please make sure that you
have sufficient CMA memory. Also the eLCDIF hardware has some
unfortunate restrictions on buffer stride, which surfaced a bug in the
etnaviv buffer layout code also on some very common display
resolutions. Please make sure you have [1] applied to get rid of this
bug.
