initializes fixed fbdev information

## NAME

drm\_fb\_helper\_fill\_fix - initializes fixed fbdev information

**void drm\_fb\_helper\_fill\_fix(struct fb\_info \*** *info***, uint32\_t** *pitch***, uint32\_t** *depth***);**

## ARGUMENTS

fbdev registered by the helper

*pitch*

desired pitch

*depth*
