[PATCH 1/3] drm/amdgpu: reserve 64M stolen memory for Apple 5K iMac

From: Richard Lane

Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 18:46:47 EST


Apple 27" 5K iMacs report a single 2560x2880 tile (28.125 MiB) in
VIEWPORT_SIZE while scanning out up to 64 MiB across the relocated EFI
framebuffer.

Override the stolen VGA memory allocation size to 64 MiB when matching
PCI_VENDOR_ID_APPLE with a 2560x2880x4 viewport size to prevent
framebuffer corruption during boot handover.
