drm/i915/display: relax 2big checking around initial fb
The kernel prefers enabling fbc over the initial fb, since this leads to actual runtime power savings, so if the initial fb is deemed too big using some heuristic, then we simply skip allocating stolen for it. However if the kernel is not configured with fbcon then it should be possible to relax this, since unlike with fbcon the display server shouldn't preserve it when later replacing it, and so we should be able to re-use the stolen memory for fbc and friends. This patch is reported to fix some flicker seen during boot splash on some devices. v2: s/FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE/CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Lee Shawn C <shawn.c.lee@intel.com> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210526124901.245689-1-matthew.auld@intel.com
