Well my thinking is that it's a drm driver, so if we have issue with limit
checks blowing up it makes more sense to check them against drm limits.
Plus a lot more people understand those than fbdev. They should all match
anyway, or if they dont, we have a bug. The thing is, if you change this
further to just pass the drm_framebuffer, then this 100% becomes a drm
function, which could be used by anything in drm really.

But also *shrug*.
