IMHO, the meaning was quite clearly stated... I am not sure whether this
added clarity is worth the churn.

But I am ok with it if others think it's necessary.

Btw, if we change this for DRM_BUS_FLAG*, we probably should also do the
equal change for DISPLAY_FLAGS_PIXDATA_[NEG|POS]EDGE. Since displays are
always on the sample side, it probably has higher chance to get mixed
up.
