>Description:
	On 14" Pinebook model when booting with `modeset' (default) enabled
	there are screen glitches/wrong offsets on the top of the screen and
	extreme right.  ASCII art trying to illustrate the problem:

	 +---------------------------------------+
	 |=======================================|<- unexpected "violet" bar
	 |[                                     ||\
	 |[                                     || \
	 |[                                     ||  | the first `[' character
	 |[                                     ||  | of dmesg timestamp can
	 |[                                     ||  | be seen on the extreme
	 |[                                     ||  | right too
	 |[                                     || /
	 |[                                     ||/
	 |_                                     _|<- part of the input cursor
	 +---------------------------------------+   can be seen on the
						     extreme right

	...and here the corresponding photograph of the problem:

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot a GENERIC64 kernel on a 14" Pinebook.
>Fix:
	No idea, sorry!

	A possible workaround to that problem is to boot the kernel with
	`nomodeset', e.g. on the EFI prompt:

	 > boot netbsd nomodeset
