drm/fbdev-generic: Fix framebuffer on big endian devices
Starting with kernel 6.7, the framebuffer text console is not working
anymore with the virtio-gpu device on s390x hosts. Such big endian fb
devices are usinga different pixel ordering than little endian devices,
e.g. DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888 instead of DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888.
This used to work fine as long as drm_client_buffer_addfb() was still
calling drm_mode_addfb() which called drm_driver_legacy_fb_format()
internally to get the right format. But drm_client_buffer_addfb() has
recently been reworked to call drm_mode_addfb2() instead with the
format value that has been passed to it as a parameter (see commit
6ae2ff2 ("drm/client: Convert drm_client_buffer_addfb() to drm_mode_addfb2()").
That format parameter is determined in drm_fbdev_generic_helper_fb_probe()
via the drm_mode_legacy_fb_format() function - which only generates
formats suitable for little endian devices. So to fix this issue
switch to drm_driver_legacy_fb_format() here instead to take the
device endianness into consideration.
Fixes: 6ae2ff2 ("drm/client: Convert drm_client_buffer_addfb() to drm_mode_addfb2()")
Closes: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-45158
