Because it changes how lcd_ht expands. In the DRM case, it will expand
to the displayed area, the front porch, the sync period and the back
porch.

In your case, you expand it to the displayed area, the front porch and
the back porch, precisely because in Allwinner's case, the back porch
has the sync period.
