Subject: [PATCH] video: msmfb: Put the partial update magic value into the fix_screen struct.

From: Dima Zavin <[email protected]>

This can then be tested by userspace to see if the capability is supported.
Userspace cannot rely on that value being left in var_screen, since userspace
itself can change it.
