[Linux-fbdev-devel] [PATCH v3 1/3] drm/fb: fix FBIOGET/PUT_VSCREENINFO pixel clock handling

[Clemens L. <cl...@la...>]

When the framebuffer driver does not publish detailed timing information
for the current video mode, the correct value for the pixclock field is
zero, not -1.

Since pixclock is actually unsigned, the value -1 would be interpreted
as 4294967295 picoseconds (i.e., about 4 milliseconds) by
register_framebuffer() and userspace programs.

This patch allows X.org's fbdev driver to work.
