[PATCH v7 1/8] video: add display_timing struct and helpers

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hi Steffen,

Thanks for the patch.

As we'll need a v8 anyway due to the comment on patch 5/8, here are a couple 
of other small comments.

I try to keep #include's sorted alphabetically, but I won't push for that.

disp->num_timings is an unsigned int, i should be an unsigned int as well to 
avoid signed vs. unsigned comparisons.

What is the index parameter for ?

index should be an unsigned int for the same reason as above.

Maybe just

	return disp->timings[index];

?
