Now I'm confused. Aren't you effectively iverting the sampling edges
here?

That and the fact that everywhere else we only use the driver variants
makes me think that we should just define which way these are supposed
to be used and just have a single set of definitions.

Also, I think there's no need for these to be always "physically"
correct. This is up to interpretation by the driver, so if a bridge
driver wants to use them as meaning "sampled edge", that's fine. If
display controllers use them to mean "driven edge", that's equally
fine.

As long as we don't communicate the flags between drivers there should
be no reason for them to be confusing. Just make sure that the comments
in the interfaces clarify from which point of view these flags are to be
interpreted and we should be fine.
