drm: Specify a bit more the DRM_CAP_CURSOR_{WIDTH, HEIGHT} caps
Earlier this week, there was a bit of confusion about those new capabilities, to the point I think it's better to document the intention and API contract. The comment documents the current situation: - the radeon driver returns the only valid size for the hw - i915 returns the maximun cursor size - other drivers fall back to returning 64x64 The common contract is to return a valid cursor size.
