Here is diff between allwinner hbp vs hbp in DRM.

Say hbp in DRM can call it hbackporch, so

=> x + hbackporch + hsync + hfp - -x - hbp - 20

(and here we need to substitute hbp formula from allwinner since the
actual equation would coming from there
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M2M-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp/de/disp_lcd.c#L2046)

=> x + hbackporch + hsync + hfp - x - (hbackporch + hsync) - 20
=> x + hbackporch + hsync + hfp - x - hbackporch - hsync - 20
=> hfp - 20

This is true, and same I have explained in commit log. and hbp here is
as per allwinner so we endedup hfp. which is satisfied by above DRM
equation.

With the above explanation there is no sync included.
