udlfb: Add module_param to allow forcing pixel_limit
Some user scenarios need to prioritize performance over maxiumum resolution. Also, some devices may have bad vendor descriptors, and this allows the user to set a pixel limit that matches their specific device to avoid blank screens on higher resolution monitors. 700000 minimum for DL-115, 2360000 maximum for DL-195 Signed-off-by: Ben Collins <bcollins@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Bernie Thompson <bernie@plugable.com>
