drm/fb: document drm_fb_helper_surface_size
There has been some confusion about this struct. Lack of documentation probably didn't help.

+/**
+ * struct drm_fb_helper_surface_size - describes fbdev size and scanout surface size
+ * @fb_width: fbdev width
+ * @fb_height: fbdev height
+ * @surface_width: scanout buffer width
+ * @surface_height: scanout buffer height
+ * @surface_bpp: scanout buffer bpp
+ * @surface_depth: scanout buffer depth
+ *
+ * Note that the scanout surface width/height may be larger than the fbdev
+ * width/height. In case of multiple displays, the scanout surface is sized
+ * according to the largest width/height (so it is large enough for all CRTCs
+ * to scanout). But the fbdev width/height is sized to the minimum width/
+ * height of all the displays. This ensures that fbcon fits on the smallest
+ * of the attached displays.
+ *
+ * So what is passed to drm_fb_helper_fill_var() should be fb_width/fb_height,
+ * rather than the surface size.
