Sebastian,
Thanks for looking at my proposed changes, you understand this sync
stuff very well so I appreciate your input that this is actually an
acceptable workaround.

Yes we definitely got lucky with this one, good thing the NXP
supported that reference pixel position, as I was out of options from
the lcd controller side of things to adjust the horizontal position.

I vote we submit a complete series that we can all test, there were quite
a lot of versions of things in flight at the same time so I am sure
David would appreciate a consolidated version.
The only thing I have not tested is audio support, but as the original
driver did not have that anyway I don't consider it blocking if it is
working for CuBox.
