It would be good to explain what exactly is going on here in the 
comment, the comment says "Vsync, Hsync, and VDEN are active high 
signals." and the code below does exact opposite and sets NxSYNC flags.

Yes, the MX8MM/MN does need HS/VS/DE active LOW, it is a quirk of that 
MXSFB-DSIM glue logic. The MX8MP needs the exact opposite on all three, 
active HIGH.

It would also be good to mention both MX8MM and MX8MN are affected, not 
only MX8MM.
