I think I may have misspoken before. fbdev's first probe already uses
the device's limits: __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock() passes
max_width and max_height. Only drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event() passes the
framebuffer size, so the list starts with every mode and loses the
larger ones on the first hotplug. This series makes the hotplug probe
match the first one

Are you suggesting a different approach?
