Subject: uvesafb: don't treat valid modes returned byfb_find_mode() as errors
From: Michal Januszewski <spock@xxxxxxxxxx>
Don't treat valid modes returned by fb_find_mode() (best-fit modes, default
modes or the first valid mode) as errors.
Currently, when fb_find_mode() finds a valid mode belonging to one of the
above-mentioned classes, uvesafb will ignore it and will try to set a 640x480
video mode. The expected behaviour (introduced by this patch) would be to use
the valid mode returned by fb_find_mode() instead.
