x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers: add comment about kernel 6.13 & fbdev=1 NVIDIA has fixed 550.142 to build with 6.13-rc3 (565.77 fails), but has not addressed/noticed that fbdev=1 is broken. So keep a reminder to not add =6.13 even if it builds when 6.13 releases. Also note in 565.77 in case a new version releases that only fixed the build failure and not fbdev=1. Patches exists, but would rather not use these, hard to tell if they're correct. Users should stick to 6.12 or older until proper fixes.
