Why did you go for this approach? To be able to represent
true/false/not-specified?
We decided somewhere between v3 and v8 (I think), that those flags can be
high/low/ignored.

Would it be simpler to just have "flags" field? What does it give us to
have those two separately?
I decided to split them, so it is clear that some flags are VESA defined and
the others are "invented" for the display-timings framework and may be
extended.

Should the above say raising edge/falling edge instead of positive
edge/negative edge?
Hm, I used posedge/negedge because it is shorter (and because of my Verilog past
pretty natural to me :-) ). I don't know what others are thinking though.

Regards,
Steffen
