Well it depends. From a quick look it seems like the current dsi code
doesn't care at all about sync flags. In that case you should
normalize the sync flags of the adjusted mode in the compute_config
callback to 0 and not set them in the get_hw_state function. We do
that already for e.g. tv encoder outputs.

The quirk flag should only be used if we do set the sync modes but
somehow can't read it back. The only case is sdvo where some encoders
(in violation of the spec) don't support the flag readback. But that
case needs a big comment explaining why.

The goal here isn't to shut up the hw cross checker but to actually
make it useful ;-)
