commit b693e42921e0220c0d564c55c6cdc680b0f85390 upstream.

Clamp the fbdev surface size of the available maximumi height to avoid
failing to init console emulation. An example error is shown below.

  bad framebuffer height 2304, should be >= 768 && <= 768
  [drm] Initialized simpledrm 1.0.0 20200625 for simple-framebuffer.0 on minor 0
  simple-framebuffer simple-framebuffer.0: [drm] *ERROR* fbdev: Failed to setup generic emulation (ret=-22)

This is especially a problem with drivers that have very small screen
sizes and cannot over-allocate at all.

v2:
	* reduce warning level (Ville)
