drm/fb-helper: Partially bring back workaround for bugs of SDL 1.2
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
SDL 1.2 sets all fields related to the pixel format to zero in some
cases[1]. Prior to commit db05c48 ("drm: fb-helper: Reject all
pixel format changing requests"), there was an unintentional workaround
for this that existed for more than a decade. First in device-specific DRM
drivers, then here in drm_fb_helper.c.

Previous code containing this workaround just ignores pixel format fields
from userspace code. Not a good thing either, as this way, driver may
silently use pixel format different from what client actually requested,
and this in turn will lead to displaying garbage on the screen. I think
that returning EINVAL to userspace in this particular case is the right
option, so I decided to left code from problematic commit untouched
instead of just reverting it entirely.

Here is the steps required to reproduce this problem exactly:
	1) Compile fceux[2] with SDL 1.2.15 and without GTK or OpenGL
	   support. SDL should be compiled with fbdev support (which is
	   on by default).
	2) Create /etc/fb.modes with following contents (values seems
	   not used, and just required to trigger problematic code in
	   SDL):

		mode "test"
		    geometry 1 1 1 1 1
		    timings 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
		endmode

	3) Create ~/.fceux/fceux.cfg with following contents:

		SDL.Hotkeys.Quit = 27
		SDL.DoubleBuffering = 1

	4) Ensure that screen resolution is at least 1280x960 (e.g.
	   append "video=Virtual-1:1280x960-32" to the kernel cmdline
	   for qemu/QXL).

	5) Try to run fceux on VT with some ROM file[3]:

		# ./fceux color_test.nes

[1] SDL 1.2.15 source code, src/video/fbcon/SDL_fbvideo.c,
    FB_SetVideoMode()
[2] http://www.fceux.com
[3] Example ROM: https://github.com/bokuweb/rustynes/blob/master/roms/color_test.nes
