Patches 1 to 4 are just cleanup. Maybe these should should be rolled into one patch?
Patch 5 is a bit more complicated. On cards with very little video memory, (e.g 8MB) higher resolutions at 32bit framebuffer depths will get corrupted because the required memory is larger than what the framebuffer has. DRM has "max_height" and "max_width" but no "max_bytes" for limiting resolutions, so the patch is a little hacky. The first for loop tries to associate a connector with the mode being tested. From the connector I can get the bpp if the user specified one on the video= commandline. After that I do 2 things: 1) Invalidate the requested mode from the video= parameter 2) Return MODE_BAD if the framebuffer would be too large I feel this patch plays with structures it shouldn't have to touch to get the bpp. An alternative fix would be to include a "max_bytes" in the DRM core and then do these checks there.
I'm also wondering, did I miss the 3.9.0 merge window?
