Just for more information, as the driver is describing the hardware limitation, and the comments for cursor_width/cursor_height in struct
drm_mode_config indicates "hint to userspace for 'max' cursor width/height". After few discussions with the reviewer, we eventually set it to the maximum size the Overlay supports (d46f652fc9fde61d7e88bfeace62f27847d55d40.camel@mediatek.com>).

Not sure if it makes sense for these userspace compositors to always
use the maximum size of the cursor plane as the cursor size.

Shawn
