This series fixes possible out-of-bound memory accesses when users trigger
screen resolutions changes with invalid input parameters, e.g. reconfigures
screen which is smaller than the current font size, or if the virtual screen
size is smaller than the physical screen size.

Changes in v2:
- don't fixup wrong xy_vres values, but instead print warning.
- add Reviewed-by tags, minor variable name fixes

Helge Deller (4):
  fbcon: Disallow setting font bigger than screen size
  fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size
  fbmem: Prevent invalid virtual screen sizes in fb_set_var()
  fbcon: Use fbcon_info_from_console() in fbcon_modechange_possible()
