[PATCH master 1/2] video: mode-helpers: preserve sync polarity in fb_videomode conversion

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The FB_SYNC_*_HIGH_ACT flags indicate that the respective sync signal is
active high when set and active low when unset.

The DISPLAY_FLAGS_*SYNC_* flags on the other hands have separate
non-zero _HIGH and _LOW flags, which fb_videomode_to_videomode() failed
to account for.

This causes a DPI sync polarity mismatch for MIPI-DSI panels with
negative sync polarity, which was hackily worked around by enabling the
video pattern generator intermittently.

Fix by explicitly setting the LOW polarity flags, which restores
DRM_MODE_FLAG_NHSYNC/NVSYNC after the fb_videomode round-trip.

[PATCH master 2/2] video: dw_mipi_dsi: remove VPG workaround for panel initialization

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The Video Pattern Generator was being temporarily enabled during
VPL_ENABLE to work around panel initialization timeouts on the Sitronix
ST7703 of the Powkiddy RGB30. The root cause was a sync polarity
that has been fixed in the previous commit, so this hack can now go away.

This fixes a regression for the STM32MP157C-DK2: Enabling the VPG at the
point we did, caused the panel to synchronize to a wrong start offset and
led to a funny effect with the barebox logo that's shown by default:

On subsequent reboots, the display output would start at different
locations and so the logo would wander around and because the color
format is RGB888, the hexagon inside the barebox logo b would keep
switching between red, green and blue.
