Re: [ldv-project] [PATCH v2] drm/fb-helper: add virtual screen size check to drm_fb_helper_check_var()

From: Alexey Khoroshilov

For v2 I would suggest to update description to something like this:

Make sure that virtual screen size is not less than physical screen one.

and comment to:
/* make sure that virtual resolution >= physical resolution */
