If display timings were read from the devicetree using of_get_display_timing() and pixelclk-active is defined there, the flag DISPLAY_FLAGS_SYNC_POSEDGE/NEGEDGE is automatically generated. Through the function drm_bus_flags_from_videomode() e.g. called in the panel-simple driver this flag got into the bus flags, but then in imx_pd_bridge_atomic_check() the bus flag check failed and will not initialize the display. The original commit fe141cedc433 does not explain why this check was introduced. So remove the bus flags check, because it stops the initialization of the display with valid bus flags.

I still ask myself why this bus flag check is in the code. Is there a reason not to remove that?
The reasoning was that DE_{LOW,HIGH} and FLAG_PIXDATA_DRIVE_{POS,NEG}EDGE were the only bus_flags taken into account by the crtc logic, so anything else is simply ignored. This was definitely wrong since the driver supports at least one of the VSYNC polarity (perhaps both if there's a way to configure it that's not hooked-up yet).
So I guess figuring out the default VSYNC polarity and accepting the according DISPLAY_FLAGS_SYNC_XXXEDGE flag is what makes most sense here.
Regards,
Boris
