The current fbdev emulation does not allow to push back changes in
width, height or depth to KMS, hence reject any changes with an
error. This makes sure that fbdev ioctl's fail properly and user
space does not assume that changes succeeded.

This rejects reconfiguration of framebuffer like
fbset -rgba 5,6,5 -depth 16 (when in 24 bit mode by default)
fbset -xres 123
I think all users of drm_fb_helper_check_var use also the generic
drm_fb_helper_set_par (or do otherwise not support changing size/
depth). Hence, afaict, the change should be the right thing to do
for all driver...
