No, stride >= line_width * bytes_per_pixel. It is just step size in
bytes, to skip into next line. (sometime it contain gaps related to
blank parts of screen, sometime related to round screen line to page
size).
So if it have mode - 2880x1800x32, it have to be 
2880 * (32 / 8) = 11520 or
11520 + (4096 - 1) & 0xffffffff_fffff000 = 12288 (0x03000, 3 4k_pages)
