[PATCH v13 06/10] drm: drm_display_mode: add signal polarity flags

We need a way to pass signal polarity informations
  between DRM panels, and the display drivers.

To do that, a pol_flags field was added to drm_display_mode.

ChangeLog v12->v13:
- Added Docbook documentation for pol_flags the struct field.
- Removed the _PRESERVE	defines: it was used by patches
  against the imx_drm driver. Now theses patches have been
  adapted not to require that defines.
ChangeLog v11->v12:
- Rebased: This patch now applies against drm_modes.h
- Rebased: It now uses the new DRM_MODE_FLAG_POL_DE flags defines names

ChangeLog v10->v11:
- Since the imx-drm won't be able to retrive its regulators
  from the device tree when using display-timings nodes,
  and that I was told that the drm simple-panel driver 
  already supported that, I then, instead, added what was
  lacking to make the eukrea displays work with the
  drm-simple-panel driver.

  That required a way to get back the display polarity
  informations from the imx-drm driver without affecting
  userspace.
