From: "Pieter \"PoroCYon\" Sluys" pcy@national.shitposting.agency
[ Upstream commit 7b9faf5df0ac495a1a3d7cdb64921c179f9008ac ]
Currently, when loading the vfb module, the newly created fbdev has a line_length of 0, and its video mode would be PSEUDOCOLOR regardless of color depth. (The former could be worked around by calling the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl with having the FBACTIVIATE_FORCE flag set.) This patch automatically sets the line_length correctly, and the video mode is derived from the bit depth now as well.
Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven for confirming the bug and helping me with the patch.
