legacy page_flip ioctl only verifies that the fb->format stays the same.
It doesn't check anything else (afair never has), this is all up to
drivers to verify.

Personally I'd say add a check to reject this, since testing this and
making sure it really works everywhere is probably a bit much on this old
hw.
