Could you add some description to these flags.
What are *_PRESERVE flags for?
Are those flags 1:1 compatible with respective 'videomode:flags'?
I guess DE flags should be rather DRM_MODE_FLAG_POL_DE_(LOW|HIGH), am I
right?
   
   Possibly nitpicking, I wouldn't call the clock edge on which data signals
   are generated/sampled data polarity. This is clock polarity
   information.
   
   Have you seen cases where pixel data and DE are geenrated or need to be
   sampled on different edges ?
  
  DE is not a clock signal, but an 'Enable' signal whose value (high or
  low) defines the window in which the pixel data is valid.
  The flag defines whether data is valid during the HIGH or LOW period of
  DE.
 
 The DRM_MODE_FLAG_POL_DE_(LOW|HIGH) do, by my impression of the proposed new 
 DRM_MODE_FLAG_POL_DE_*EDGE flags is that they define sampling clock edges, 
 not 
 active levels.
 
The current naming of the flags gives the impression that they describe
the sampling edges of a clock signal. But the DE signal in fact is not
a clock signal but a level sensitive gating signal.

signals it gets generated on a clock edge and is sampled on a clock edge. The

That's not relevant to this patch series though.  This patch series is
about adding configuration which will allow iMX6 SoCs to be properly
configured for their displays.

iMX has the ability to:

- define the polarity of the clock signal
- define the polarity of the other signals

It does not have the ability to define which clock edge individual signals
like vsync (frame clock), hsync (line clock), disable enable change on
independently.

So, it doesn't make sense _here_ for the display enable to be defined by
an edge - it's not something that can be changed here.  What can only be
changed is it's active level.

Of course, there may be some which can do this, and that's a separate
problem that would need to be addressed when there's hardware that does
support it.

The objection which Lothar is raising is that _this_ definition does not
match the _hardware_ capabilities which it is intended to be used with,
which is a very valid objection.

DE is not a clock signal, but an 'Enable' signal whose value (high or
low) defines the window in which the pixel data is valid.
The flag defines whether data is valid during the HIGH or LOW period of
DE.

We need a way to pass signal polarity informations
between DRM panels, and the display drivers.

To do that, a pol_flags field was added to drm_display_mode.

ChangeLog v10-v11:
- Since the imx-drm won't be able to retrive its regulators

  from the device tree when using display-timings nodes,
  and that I was told that the drm simple-panel driver
  already supported that, I then, instead, added what was
  lacking to make the eukrea displays work with the
  drm-simple-panel driver.
  
  That required a way to get back the display polarity
  informations from the imx-drm driver without affecting
  userspace.

   Could you add some description to these flags.
   What are *_PRESERVE flags for?
   Are those flags 1:1 compatible with respective 'videomode:flags'?
   I guess DE flags should be rather DRM_MODE_FLAG_POL_DE_(LOW|HIGH), am I
   right?
  
  Possibly nitpicking, I wouldn't call the clock edge on which data signals
  are generated/sampled data polarity. This is clock polarity
  information.
  
  Have you seen cases where pixel data and DE are geenrated or need to be
  sampled on different edges ?
 
 DE is not a clock signal, but an 'Enable' signal whose value (high or
 low) defines the window in which the pixel data is valid.
 The flag defines whether data is valid during the HIGH or LOW period of
 DE.

The DRM_MODE_FLAG_POL_DE_(LOW|HIGH) do, by my impression of the proposed new 
DRM_MODE_FLAG_POL_DE_*EDGE flags is that they define sampling clock edges, not 
active levels.
