change return type of sm7xx_vga_setup() to void as we are not using
the return type anywhere. if this function fails we fall back to the
default configuration.

This patch is fine but if you wanted you could send a follow on which
set it to SCREEN_X_RES, SCREEN_Y_RES, SCREEN_BPP if there were no
options.  Then remove the "if (smtc_scr_info.lfb_width != 0) " condition
in smtcfb_pci_probe().
yes, i could have. But actually I am thinking to totally remove this function and use more conventional fb_get_mode() in its places. But if i do so then the boot parameters will change. Currently it is like vga=sm712fb:0x301 but if i change it to use fb_get_mode() then the boot parameters will change to vga=sm712fb:640x480@60-8 , and that is why I am hesitating. But it will be more conventional to what all framebuffer drivers follows.
Hm...  That's a good question.

I suspect we should just go with fb_get_mode() and do it quickly.  This
driver is so new in the kernel that there are no users to get upset.
