Agreed.

As mentioned in a reply to another patch, I think it would be useful to
explain this a bit more clearly. Hans mentioned in the review of the
driver itself that there was a bug as an image width of 16 bits results
in a grid width of 2. I think that's correct (a width between 1 and 16
pixels results in a single grid cell horizontally, and thus two
vertices, on the left and right side of the cell), but it would benefit
from an explanation. A small ascii art diagram could help.
