Structs videomode and display_timing have rather long field names for the timing values. Nothing wrong with that as such, but this patch changes them to abbreviations for the following reasons:
The timing values often need to be used in calculations, and long field names makes their direct use clumsier.
The current names are a bit of a mishmash: some words are used as such, some are shortened, and for some only first letter is used. Some names use underscode, some don't. All this makes it difficult to remember what the field names are.
The abbreviations used in this patch are very common, and there shouldn't be any misunderstanding about their meaning.

I have no strong opinion on this, but I find the existing names easier to read. I might be biased by having read them often though.
Yes, the last patch was a bit of a "teaser" =). I found myself typoing them a lot, using helper local variables to shorten the code lines, and as I mention in the description, I find them a bit of a mishmash. So, while they're not used in any drivers yet, I thought it'd be worth a shot to change them.
