I was just wondering because the above clearly changes the value in
.sampling_edge, but if it isn't currently used it doesn't really matter.

One potential problem I see here is that the kerneldoc for sampling_edge
says that it should reuse the flags from the DRM connector. Now if the
DRM connector specifies these from a drive perspective and the bridge
interprets them from a sample perspective, this is obviously going to be
a problem. But then, the only places where these are used seems to be in
the VGA bridge driver, so I'm assuming that these are from a sampling
perspective and should be interpreted that way.

So I think that's all that we need to define. If a driver specifies the
values in some structure, then they should be interpreted from the
driver's perspective. If a display driver uses the values provided by a
bridge driver it needs to interpret them from a sampling perspective as
well.

The issue I see with multiple definitions is that it doesn't actually
solve the problem. If a bridge driver specifies the flags from a
sampling perspective and the display driver interprets them as drive
flags, there will still be confusion, right?
