Subject: [PATCH] uvesafb: fix color component length for pseudocolor modes

uvesafb incorrectly sets the length of the color fields to 6 bits
for PSEUDOCOLOR modes, even though 8 bits are always used per pixel.
Fix this by setting the length to 8.

The switch of the DAC width from the default 6 bits to 8 bits is
retained and tracked internally in the driver, but never exposed
to userspace.
