[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.
