SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 1/8] drm/bridge: use bus flags in bridge timings
Date
Hi Stefan,

Thankk you for the patch.

Please don't, that will get confusing very quickly. Flag names such as
DRM_BUS_FLAG_PIXDATA_NEGEDGE don't mention sampling or driving. There's only a
small comment next to their definition, which will easily be overlooked. I'd
rather update the definition to cover both sampling and driving, and document
the input_bus_flags field to explain that all flags refer to sampling.
