+1 to see .flags specified

Likewise good to see .bus_format specified.

But .bus_flags are not specified.

Many panels leave out .bus_flags - and I wonder if this is
because default is OK or because most other panels does so.

I had problems with my display that the text looked blurred
when bus_flags was no specified (using defaults).
This was one issue I had when migrating from 4.4 kernel
to a recent kernel.

So therefore it would good to have .bus_flags specified too
if for nothing else then for documentation purposes.
