Here I am with scope captures and tcon0 registers dump:
tcon0_regs => https://pasteboard.co/H4r8Zcs.png
dclk_d0 => https://pasteboard.co/H4r8QRe.png
dclk_de => https://pasteboard.co/H4r8zh4R.png
dclk_vsnc => https://pasteboard.co/H4r8Hye.png

As you can see circled in reg on registers,
TCON0_IO_POL_REG = 0x00000000.
But on all the waveforms you can see:
- dclk_d0: clock phase is 0, but it starts with falling edge, otherwise
the rising front overlaps dclk rising edge(not good), so to me this is
falling, then I mean it Negative.
- dclk_de: de pulse is clearly negative, even if register is 0 and its'
polarity bit is 0.
- dclk_vsnc: same as dclk_de
- dclk_hsync: I didn't take scope screenshot but I can assure you it's
negative.

You can also check all the other registers about TCON0.

Now I proceed testing it on A33, maybe the peripheral is slightly
different between Axx SoCs, if I find it that way,
it should be only a check about SoC or peripheral ID,
and treat polarity as it should be done.

Kind regards
