+ * Framebuffer sizes refer to the virtual screen that can be displayed by
+ * the CRTC. This can be different from the physical resolution programmed.
+ * The minimum width and height, stored in @min_width and @min_height,
+ * describe the smallest size of the framebuffer. It correlates to the
+ * minimum programmable resolution.
+ * The maximum width, stored in @max_width, is typically limited by the
+ * maximum pitch between two adjacent scanlines. The maximum height, stored
+ * in @max_height, is usually only limited by the amount of addressable video
+ * memory. For hardware that has no real maximum, drivers should pick a
+ * reasonable default.
