Subject: [PATCH] video: msmfb: Put the partial update magic value into the
fix_screen struct.

From: Dima Zavin <redacted>

This can then be tested by userspace to see if the capability is
supported.
Userspace cannot rely on that value being left in var_screen, since
userspace
itself can change it.
Missing Signed-off-by:
checkpatch would give error for this.
