Well, BT.565 sync mode applies to parallel data transmission busses as
BT.601 sync mode does... I don't want to bikeshed on terms though, I'm
sorry...

I would have write here:

hsync-active		: Required when using explicit HSYNC synchronism
                          signal. Default valuse is "high"/"low".
vsync-active		: Required when using explicit VSYNC synchronism
                          signal. Default valuse is "high"/"low".
When both vsync-active and hsync-active are omitted BT.565 implicit
synchronization mode is used.

To avoid confusing people already confused as I am :)

I got this patch is already in, right? Feel free to ignore my comment or
either send an incremental patch if you think it is appropriate.

Thanks
