How about calling this property pixelclk-active, active high meaning driving pixel data on rising edges and sampling on falling edges (the pixel clock is high between driving and sampling the data), and active low meaning driving on falling edges and sampling on rising edges? It is the same from the SoC perspective and from the panel perspective, and it mirrors the usage of the other *-active properties.
