I don't think it is 0, because otherwise IO_POL_REG wouldn't be set to 
0x03000000 but to 0.
What is checked is exactly mode->flags, so the problem seems to be upstream.

This is my doubt, it seems mode->flags is not initialized or overriden 
at a certain point, this is why I want to debug it with Jtag tomorrow.

0x03000000 as I've triple checked with scope means Positive H/Vsync,
and 0x00000000 Negative H/VSync.

Please check on the Thread I've pointed you above where there are all 
the links to the scope captures.

Are you completely sure you're using the correct panel?
This is because if with 0x03000000 it works correctly, it means that 
you're using Positive VS and HS but on datasheet on Figure 3.2 it shows 
that they must be negative.

Do you have any chance to measure those signals with a scope?

Tomorrow, while debugging, I'll re-check H/Vsync signals again.

Kind regards
