As I anticipated in the cover letter, I agree the BE/LE distinction
does not apply well for LVDS formats. I chose to use _LE anyhow as
there are no other format variants defined in media-bus-format.h

I'm open to use either of those suffixes btw, what presses me is to
get rid of those flags only defined in drm_connector.h

thanks
