Hi Linus,

Thank you for the patch.

Do you need the intermediate timings variable ?

You know what's lovely ? The setup time depends on the power supply voltage 
:-) Let's use 500ps for now, that's a conservative value that will work for 
both 5V and 3.3V. If anyone needs to lower it to 200ps later, they can always 
implement support for voltage-dependent timings.

Shouldn't we leave this NULL for dumb VGA DACs ? They're made of passive 
components and don't sample the signal, so there's no real timings that we can 
report.

Apart from that,
