[ Upstream commit ac831a379d34109451b3c41a44a20ee10ecb615f ]

Dan's static analysis says:

drivers/video/fbdev/controlfb.c:560 control_setup() error: buffer overflow 'control_mac_modes' 20 <= 21

Indeed, control_mac_modes[] has only 20 elements, while VMODE_MAX is 22, which may lead to an out of bounds read when parsing vmode commandline options.

The bug was introduced in v2.4.5.6, when 2 new modes were added to macmodes.h, but control_mac_modes[] wasn't updated:

https://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/diff/include/video/macmodes.h?h=v2.5...

Augment control_mac_modes[] with the two new video modes to fix this.
