Subject: [PATCH 5.4 10/38] fbmem: Check virtual screen sizes in fb_set_var()

From: Helge Deller <deller@....de>

commit 6c11df58fd1ac0aefcb3b227f72769272b939e56 upstream.

Verify that the fbdev or drm driver correctly adjusted the virtual
screen sizes. On failure report the failing driver and reject the screen
size change.
