Thanks for the tips on documentation, and I verified this.

It seems that Rockchip people made this always wrong, even with their
pre-DRM display driver... [1]

BTW I checked the Innosilicon dGPU driver code, and its g3_ne_hdmi.h
source file also contains the definition of BIT(3) as VSYNC. (It's
quite weird that most logic of that driver is in some .o_shipped blob,
but fortunately the g3 logic might be too new to be closed down)

Thanks,
Icenowy
