This patch modifies the driver to perform two stage parsing of video
timings from device tree, to get timing information as struct
videomode, which contains more data than struct fb_videomode.

Thanks to this change, information about polarity of control signals
(VSYNC, HSYNC, VDEN, VCLK) can be retrieved, in addition to standard
video timings.

Since the drm mode struct also contains flags for sync polarity ... why
is there no direct of -> drm_mode function? Going through an fb
videomode in a kms drm driver looks _really_ backwards to me.

Cc'in Dave for the fun of it ;-)
Struct fb_videomode is what exynos_drm_fimd driver uses internally. Sure
it should use drm_mode, but this is not really related to this patch,
because the code added in this patch only fills in the pdata struct, which
for compatibility reasons (the same structure is used for both fbdev and
drm drivers) contains struct fb_videomode.

OK, now after having a bit of fun, could we merge this patch to at least
have usable support of parallel displays using this driver?

I think it's better to use struct display_timings instead of struct
fb_videomode in exynos_drm.

Thanks.
