drm_mode_create_dumb() calculates the number of characters per pixel
from the number of bits per pixel by rounding up, which is not correct
as the actual value of cpp may be non-integer. While we do not need to
care here about complex formats like YUV, bpp < 8 is a valid use case.

- The overflow check for the buffer width is not correct if bpp < 8.
However, it doesn't hurt, as widths larger than U32_MAX / 8 should
not happen for real anyway. Add a comment to clarify.
- Calculating the stride from the number of characters per pixel is
not correct. Fix this by calculating it from the number of bits per
pixel instead.

At first, I was confused by this. So I'd really prefer to outright delete this code. As you say, it's incorrect and doesn't add anything. The concept of cpp is somewhat wrong anyway.

- stride = cpp * args->width;
+ stride = DIV_ROUND_UP(args->bpp * args->width, 8);

Do we need an overflow check for (bpp * width < U32_MAX) ?

Best regards
Thomas

return -EINVAL;
