The "xres" and "yres" fields in fb_var_screeninfo are being used to
represent the size of the window (visible resolution). So we have,
win_pos_x: x-offset from LCD(0,0) where window starts.
win_pos_y: y-offset from LCD(0,0) where window starts.
(win_pos_x + xres) : x-offset from LCD(0,0) where window ends.
(win_pos_y + yres) : y-offset from LCD(0,0) where window ends.

These x and y position are used to configure the display controller
(for LCD only) and not to alter the data in physical buffer
(framebuffer). Could you elaborate the above use case you have
mentioned and how adding the x and y offsets would not meet that
requirement.
