[U-Boot] [PATCH] [driver][cfb] Make the software cursor non-destructive

When printing the string "\r\n" to the framebuffer console, the first character of the current line was being replaced with a space. The "boot" prompt would become the "oot" prompt. This change makes the cursor non-destructive so that no matter where it goes on its way to where it's supposed to be, the end result is that the cursor is where it's supposed to be with the other text preserved intact.

"preserved intact" ... word for word verbose redundant ? ;)

This patch was included in my last pull request and is already in mainline [1]. Unfortunately it caused some issues on N900 as reported by Pali Rohár. He already tested my another testing patch for fixing these issues and I'm working on a final patch for mainline and intend to submit this final patch for inclusion into upcoming release.
Best regards, Anatolij
