I don't know if this is of any importance, but the linux clock framework
manages clock rates with unsigned long. Would it be better to use the
same type here?

What values will these 4 have? Aren't these booleans?

The data enable comment should be "data enable active high".

The next patch says in the devtree binding documentation that the values
may be on/off/ignored. Is that represented here somehow, i.e. values are
0/1/2 or so? If not, what does it mean if the value is left out from
devtree data, meaning "not used on hardware"?

There's also a "doubleclk" value mentioned in the devtree bindings doc,
but not shown here.

I think this videomode struct is the one that display drivers are going
to use (?), in addition to the display_timing, so it would be good to
document it well.
