Subject: [PATCH] video: fbdev: fsl-diu-fb: Remove VLA usage

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this moves
the buffer off the stack (since it could be as much as 1024 bytes), and
uses a new area in the cursor data structure. Additionally adds missed
documentation and removes redundant assignments.
