Any comments on whether data enable and pixel clock polarity flags can
be added to the visible DRM_MODE_FLAGs, and if not, where else this
information should be kept? struct drm_display_info?

This patch and the following IPUv3 patch are useful and necessary for
quite some panels connected to i.MX SoCs, but adding DRM_MODE_FLAGs is
somewhat out of my jurisdiction.

best regards
Philipp
