Because the only user of uvesafb_vbe_getpmi in uvesafb.c
don't check its return value, it should do the check indeed,
so maybe below change is better:

-       if ((task->t.regs.eax & 0xffff) != 0x4f || task->t.regs.es < 0xc000) {
+       if (err || (task->t.regs.eax & 0xffff) != 0x4f || task->t.regs.es < 0xc000) {
                par->pmi_setpal = par->ypan = 0;
        }

Or we check uvesafb_vbe_getpmi's return value, then the code will looks like below:

if (uvesafb_vbe_getpmi(task, par))
    par->pmi_setpal = par->ypan = 0;


Thanks.
