Otherwise this can also prevent modesets e.g. for switching VTs, when
multiple monitors with different native resolutions are connected.

The depths must match though, so keep the != test for that.

Also update the DRM_DEBUG output to be slightly more accurate, this
doesn't only affect requests from userspace.

Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/99841
Fixes: 865afb11949e ("drm/fb-helper: reject any changes to the fbdev")

This test looks much more sensible, and also fixes VT switching for me.

Applied to drm-misc-fixes, will send a pull request for it asap.

Thanks, Daniel

When changing resolution a regular fbdev driver also changes display
timing accordingly (fb_var_screeninfo contains timings as well). The
fbdev emulation layer does not change timing, so that was the idea why
my patch also rejected any kind of change to the resolution... In the
end it is really a definition of the semantics of that userspace API
(FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO) and how true DRM emulates them...

Using less of the available framebuffer seems safe, especially since
line width is handled by pitch/line_length.

As far as I remember my case was a fbdev application which fiddled with
bpp/depth, which lead to a totally messed up outcome... So my use case
will still be fine with your change.

I am ok with relaxing that again, so from my side:
