Extend drm_bus_flags? [Was: [PATCH v3 2/3] drm: Add bus flag for Sharp-specific signals]

[Sam Ravnborg]

Hi all.

Please see mail below - is it OK to extend drm_bus_flags to
represent "SHARP signals"?

Paul (and I) could not find any better way to let the panel tell the
display driver that it requires the special SHARP signals.

This has been pending almost a month now and it would only be fair
to either accept the solution or to give Paul guidiance how to move
forward.

There is a display driver that awaits the resilutions of this issue.
