What about calling this property wr-active ? I had called this wr-cycle in a 
previous implementation, that could be an option as well.

The panel has a memory-like interface with chip select, read/write and access 
strobe, address (1 bit) and data signals. The interface is defined in the MIPI 
DBI specification (a quick search turned up 
http://www.scribd.com/doc/206899854/MIPI-DPI-Specification-v2, there might be 
direct PDF downloads available), even if some panels implement a similar 
interface that predates MIPI DBI (with names such as i80 or SYS-80 probably 
due to the similarities with the 8051 external bus).

The cpu-timings properties describe the read and write access timings for 
those signals, unrelated to the display video timings. I thus believe that 
they should be separate from the display timings. We will probably need to add 
properties for the read signal as well, but that can be done later.

The timings description should be pretty generic I believe, especially given 
that the interface is standardized by the MIPI alliance. Could you have a 
quick look at the spec and share your opinion ?
