Correct.

Because this driver detects weird resolutions sometimes. Investigated
that it uses
     aspeed_video_update(video, VE_CTRL, 0, ctrl);
so only setting of polarity bits is available. Means that clearing of
the bits isn't available so it can't set back the polarities to normal.

To fix the issue, this patch makes it use
     aspeed_video_write(video, VE_CTRL, ctrl);
instead of above one with adding bit masking code changes.

Thanks,
Jae
