Re: [PATCH 02/11] drm/msm/dpu: use the actual lm maximum width instead of a hardcoded value

This avoids using two LMs instead of one when the display width is lower
than the maximum supported value. For example on MSM8996/MSM8998, the
actual maxwidth is 2560, so we would use two LMs for 1280x720 or
1920x1080 resolutions, while one is enough.

While this looks correct (and following what we have in 4.4), later vendor kernels specify the topology explicitly. Probably we should check this with the hw guys, because it might be the following case: even though a single LM can supply the mode, it will spend more power compared to two LMs.
