Afaik, DP doesn't have sync polarity as such (neither does DSI), and the 
sync polarity is just "metadata". So if you're in full-DP domain, I 
don't see why it would matter. I guess it becomes relevant when you 
convert from DP to some other bus format.

Looks fine to me and works for me with my DP monitor.
