This is just a minor optimization to the fb panning code. In debugging some other issues, I noticed a lot of no-op calls to the set_config routine with all the same parameters and tracked down the source to the fb helper pan routine.
So add an additional check for actual panning relative to the current crtc config to avoid unnecessary set_config calls.
