Yes, I think that's a better value.

That's a good question. I assume that's because nobody has cared to make
it unsigned. It makes little difference in practice (there's a small
impact on code generation depending on what operation you perform on the
value, but it's usually negligible). Where it makes a difference, I
believe, is in expressing the intent. If you make field unsigned, you
express that it doesn't make sense to assign it a negative value. It's
API documentation in a way. It can also avoid some errors:

struct foo {
u8 elements[16];
};

int zero_foo_elements(struct foo *foo, int num_elements)
{
if (num_elements > ARRAY_SIZE(foo->elements))
return -EOVERFLOW;

memset(foo->elements, 0, num_elements);

return 0;
}

If called with a negative value, bad things will happen. If num_elements
was unsigned, there would be no issue. Of course the function could be
written

int zero_foo_elements(struct foo *foo, int num_elements)
{
if (num_elements < 0 || num_elements > ARRAY_SIZE(foo->elements))
return -EOVERFLOW;

memset(foo->elements, 0, num_elements);

return 0;
}

but it's easy to overlook the need for a < 0 check when there's no valid
use case for passing a negative value.

Indeed, my bad. I wonder why the AXI4 stream protocol uses RBG, it's a
quite unusual order.

I'd like to get Hans' opinion on this, he has more experience with DV
timings than I do.

Thanks for the clarification, this makes sense.

I'm not sure why I thought it was reset per frame, sorry about the
noise.

Then please add a header file in include/dt-bindings/media with macros
for these values. An alternative would be to use 3, 6 and 12
respectively, in which case we could do without macros I think. I'm
fine with either option.
