Increase the scaled image's theorical width/height until we find a configuration that has valid scaling coefficients, up to 102% of the screen's resolution. This makes sure that we can scale from almost every resolution possible at the cost of a very small distorsion. The CRTC_W / CRTC_H are not modified. This algorithm was already in place but would not try to go above the screen's resolution, and as a result would only work if the CRTC_W / CRTC_H were smaller than the screen resolution. It will now try until it reaches 102% of the screen's resolution. Note that this algorithm exists mostly as a band-aid for a missing functionality: it is not possible for userspace to request the closest mode that would encapsulate the provided one, because the GEM buffer is created beforehand. If there was a way to let the kernel tweak the mode, I could write a better algorithm that would result in a better looking picture.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
