The idea is that the interface parameters (RD/WR signals timings in this case,
but this could also include MIPI DSI lane configuration or any other kind of
physical interface parameters) are distinct from the video modes.
Do you see a need to tie tie interface parameters with drm_display_mode ? Can
they be mode-specific ? In any case I'd like not to use the private field of
drm_display_mode. If we need to tie both information together then it should
be done in a standard way.
