possible progress on XO-1 camera issues

[César D. Rodas]

Hello Everybody,

After hard debugging with Raul, we've realized that the problem was in
the Geode driver. 

I've changed a line within the memory buffer, and it seems to work now. 

Looking forward to get feedback (please don't be evil, it's my first
patch :-)

Cheers
