Sorry I didn't use ./scripts/checkpatch.pl

Thinking about it more now, the point is that all Lcd IOs seem to be 
inverted by default(at least on A20).
With inverted, I mean that if for example PVSYNC,
I should see vsync line low and when asserted to give VSync,
it goes high.
This is what I've checked with oscilloscope on A20.
Can someone give a try on A33? Otherwise I will,
but I will take some time.
On uboot, everything is treated equal to kernel,
but to have my falling edge dclk and low h/vsync I had to specify:
CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_DCLK_PHASE=0 (giving me falling edge on dclk)
and
CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE="....,sync:3,..."
but digging into code, I see "sync:3" means H/VSYNC HIGH,
but I experience both LOW during their pulse.

It sounds really strange to me too,
because everybody under uboot use "sync:3"(HIGH).
I will retry to measure,
unfortunately at home I don't have a scope,
but I think I'm going to have one soon, because of this. :)
