yes, i could have. But actually I am thinking to totally remove this function and use more conventional fb_get_mode() in its places. But if i do so then the boot parameters will change. Currently it is like vga=sm712fb:0x301 but if i change it to use fb_get_mode() then the boot parameters will change to vga=sm712fb:640x480@60-8 , and that is why I am hesitating. But it will be more conventional to what all framebuffer drivers follows.
