From: Haimin Zhang <tcs_kernel@xxxxxxxxxxx> yres and vyres can be controlled by user mode parameters, and cause p->vrows to become a negative value. While this value be passed to real_y function, the ypos will be out of screen range.This is an out-of-bounds write bug. some driver will check xres and yres in fb_check_var callback,but some not so we add a common check after that callback.
