Mindlessly changing the sizes is not the solution.
Please use e.g. the array_size() helper from <linux/overflow.h>
instead.
On a 64bit system the array_size() macro is going to do the exact same
casts?  But I do think this code would be easier to understand if the
integer overflow check were pull out separately and done first:

	if (array_size(vxres, vyres) >= UINT_MAX)
		return -EINVAL;
This is wrong. array_size() returns ULONG_MAX on 64bits upon overflow and
returns UINT_MAX on 32bits upon overflow. However, UINT_MAX is a valid
value without overflow (e.g. vxres == UINT_MAX / 15 && vyres == 15).
Huh...  I just assumed we didn't allow resolutions that high.
Of course, we don't allow resolutions that high. ;-)

Since I don't know possible max resolutions, I chose UINT_MAX + 1 as a common
limit for returning -EINVAL. Unless overflow happens, vga16fb_check_var() will
return -ENOMEM on such high resolutions.

Comparing like "> (u64) UINT_MAX" is to detect only overflow.
Of course, that doesn't work on 32 bit systems.  Also the cast isn't
required because of type promotion.
Indeed, "> UINT_MAX" seems to work on both 32bits and 64bits.
Sorry, for the confusion.  I'm talking about array_size() which is
size_t.  Your approach using unsigned long long works.
