What if we reach here and j < num_frms? It can happen because if
the pending list is empty the loop breaks. Then VDMA will start
with framebuffers having address 0x0. You should only program
vsize when j > num_frms or when we have already previously set
the framebuffers (i.e. when submitcount has already been
incremented num_frms at least once).
