DISPLAY_TIMINGS?

display_timings.o?

display_timings.c?

I find the indexing API a bit confusing. But that's perhaps just a
matter of personal preference.

Also the ordering of arguments seems a little off. I find it more
natural to have the destination pointer in the first argument, similar
to the memcpy() function, so this would be:

int videomode_from_timing(struct videomode *vm, struct display_timings *disp,
			  unsigned int index);

Actually, when reading videomode_from_timing() I'd expect the argument
list to be:

int videomode_from_timing(struct videomode *vm, struct display_timing *timing);

Am I the only one confused by this?

display_timings.h?

The above line has trailing whitespace. Also the block comment should
have the opening /* on a separate line.

If index is supposed to select min, typ or max, then maybe an enum would
be a better candidate? Or alternatively provide separate accessors, like
display_timing_get_{minimum,typical,maximum}().

This function no longer exists.
