If a user has set an invalid CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_SCREEN value (such as
"qr_code" without CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_SCREEN_QR_CODE=y due to missing or
incorrect Rust dependencies), there is a panic when accessing
/sys/module/drm/parameters/panic_screen:
[ 12.218375] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address:
0000000796dd8818
[ 12.219737] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
...
[ 12.227167] RIP: 0010:drm_panic_type_get+0x1b/0x30
If drm_panic_type_set() does not find a valid drm_panic_type enumeration
in drm_panic_type_map based on the provided value, it does not change
drm_panic_type from the default -1 value, which is not a valid index for
accessing drm_panic_type_map in drm_panic_type_get(), resulting in the
crash.
Validate the value of CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_SCREEN at boot time via the
return value of drm_panic_type_set() in drm_panic_init() and explicitly
fall back to the default of "user" with a message to the user so that
they can adjust their configuration or fix missing dependencies.
[ 0.800697] Unsupported value for CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_SCREEN ('qr_code'), falling back to 'user'...
