auxdisplay: hd44780: move cursor home after clear display command
The DISPLAY_CLEAR command on the NewHaven NHD-0220DZW-AG5 display does NOT change the DDRAM address to 00h (home position) like the standard Hitachi HD44780 controller. As a consequence, the starting position of the initial string LCD_INIT_TEXT is not guaranteed to be at 0,0 depending on where the cursor was before the DISPLAY_CLEAR command. Extract of DISPLAY_CLEAR command from datasheets of: Hitachi HD44780: ... It then sets DDRAM address 0 into the address counter... NewHaven NHD-0220DZW-AG5 datasheet: ... This instruction does not change the DDRAM Address Move the cursor home after sending DISPLAY_CLEAR command to support non-standard LCDs.
