Giulio Benetti 97408545ad package/sunxi-mali-mainline-driver: update help section to make it work on Linux >= 4.20
On Linux version >= 4.20 in order to have mali working we need to pass
drm_kms_helper.drm_leak_fbdev_smem=1 and at least
drm_kms_helper.drm_fbdev_overalloc=200 to have a double buffer fbdev.

help
This package builds and installs the Linux kernel driver for
the Mali GPU on Allwinner platforms, compatible with recent
Linux kernels (>= 4.4). Note that it should be installed
together with the corresponding userspace OpenGL libraries,
which are provided as binaries only at:
https://github.com/bootlin/mali-blobs
sunxi-mali-mainline-driver requires a Linux kernel >= 4.4
with the following options enabled:
- CONFIG_CMA
- CONFIG_DMA_CMA
starting from Linux Kernel >= 4.20 following options must be
enabled:
- CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM
The following kernel command line options must be passed:
- drm_kms_helper.drm_leak_fbdev_smem = 1
since drm_kms_helper.drm_leak_fbdev_smem is set to 0 by
default
- drm_kms_helper.drm_fbdev_overalloc >= 200
since the driver requires at least double buffering and
fails to work with the default value(100).
