Probably.

Yes, could you please try this patch ?
(please modify by hand, I just copy&pasted it here)

diff --git a/drivers/video/stifb.c b/drivers/video/stifb.c
@@ -512,7 +512,7 @@ rattlerSetupPlanes(struct stifb_info *fb)

-       fb_memset((void*)fb->info.fix.smem_start, 0xff,
+       memset(fb->info.screen_base, 0xff,
                fb->info.var.yres*fb->info.fix.line_length);

Is there any difference if you just comment out the fb_memset() call, or if you modify it like I showed in the patch above?
I'm wondering, if we should just delete the whole fb_memset() call.
