Ok... based on my last mail, I then suggest to split that part out as another
follow-up patch. :-)

That was exactly the way I had coded it in the first round.
But you then suggested to move it to the ioctl code path...

I can easily change it back accordingly, but then we need to drop the
WARN_ON() [which means to drop PATCH 4] because otherwise you possibly
trigger the WARN_ON() if the user calls with wrong input values.
So, insted of
        if (WARN_ON(var->xres_virtual < var->xres)) ...
it will become:
        if (var->xres_virtual < var->xres) ...

I'll leave it up to you to decide...
