While writing an empty string to a device attribute is a no-op, and thus
does not need explicit safeguards, the user can still write a single
newline to an attribute file:
echo > .../message
If that happens, img_ascii_lcd_display() trims the newline, yielding an
empty string, and causing an infinite loop in img_ascii_lcd_scroll().
Fix this by adding a check for empty strings. Clear the display in case
one is encountered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
