The text will be easier to read if you inline it here.

	/**
	 * @DRM_LINK_DUAL_LVDS_ODD_EVEN: Dual-LVDS link, with odd pixels (1,3,5,
	 * etc.) coming through the first port, and  even pixels (0,2,4,etc.)
	 ...

I would remove the dual_link field and add a DRM_LINK_DUAL_LVDS (or
alternatively two flags, dual lvds odd-even and dual lvds even-odd).

I think this calls for a bit more information than "detailed
information". What information do you want to store in this field ?
