Subject: [PATCH v2] firmware/sysfb: Fix VESA format selection

Some legacy BIOSes report no reserved bits in their 32-bit rgb mode,
breaking the calculation of bits_per_pixel in commit f35cd3fa7729
[firmware/sysfb: Fix EFI/VESA format selection].  However they report
lfb_depth correctly for those modes.  Keep the computation but
set bits_per_pixel to lfb_depth if the latter is larger.

v2 fixes the warnings from a max3() macro with arguments of different
types;  split the bits_per_pixel assignment to avoid uglyfing the code
with too many typecasts.
