Samuel CUELLA 16b71fdf97 i810: fix kernel crash fix when struct fb_var_screeninfo is supplied
Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when
supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland.

Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global
'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter
value holder (i810_main.c:2174).  If i810fb is compiled-in or if this
param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a
divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params).  The patch simply
replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given
parameter structure lookup.

This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.
It was also reported ( but non solved ) at:
