[PATCH v2] firmware/sysfb: Use reported line length to calculate the bits-per-pixel

From: Javier Martinez Canillas
Date: Thu Apr 13 2023 - 03:00:09 EST


The commit f35cd3fa7729 ("firmware/sysfb: Fix EFI/VESA format selection")
fixed format selection, by calculating the bits-per-pixel instead of just
using the reported color depth.

But unfortunately it broke some systems due the calculated bits-per-pixel
not taking into account the filler bits, for pixel formats that contained
padding bits.

For example some firmware-provided framebuffers with pixel format xRGB24
where wrongly reported as RGB24, causing the VT output to have glitches.

This seems to be caused by the rsvd_size and rsvd_pos fields not being
set correctly in some cases. So a different calculation has to be made.

Since the lfb_depth field can't be trusted, use the lfb_linelength field
to calculate the bits-per-pixel. This is already set to the stride so it
is already deemed to be correctly set by the firmware.

Changes in v2:
- Instead of calculating the stride from the bits-per-pixel, assume that
it is correct and use it to calculate the bits-per-pixel.
