Add a module parameter, to increase the font size for HiDPI screen.
Even with CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32, it can still be a bit small to read.
In this case, adding drm_log.scale=2 to your kernel command line will
double the character size.

Drive-by nit, please use regular types instead of sysv "uint".

ok, you're right. It looks like the most common pattern is to use
unsigned int for the variable but still call module_param() with uint.
I will fix that for v5.
