Re: [PATCH] firmware/sysfb: Fix wrong stride when bits-per-pixel is calculated

Okay.  Three cases, see below.

Your patch tries to fix the stride, but what if it's the _depth_
that's wrong ?  Grub sets the mode, the pre-regression kernel picks this:
    format=x8r8g8b8, mode=1024x768x32, linelength=4096
