Hi Linus,
Thank you for the patch.

Anything wrong with the usual order of keywords (const struct vga_dac_info
*variant) ?

As far as I can tell drm_add_edid_modes() doesn't set bus_flags, so you could
keep the return live as-is and set the clock edge flag just before it.

You need to keep support for this compatible string for backward
compatibility.
