It seems awkward to have these two ivars named so similarly.  How about m_webkitLegacyClosedCaptionOverride?

> Source/WebCore/html/HTMLMediaElement.cpp:4530

This would be: m_webkitLegacyClosedCaptionOverride = visible;

> Source/WebCore/html/HTMLMediaElement.cpp:4532
> +    m_webkitClosedCaptionsVisible = m_closedCaptionsVisible;

You can remove this line if... (ctd)

> Source/WebCore/html/HTMLMediaElement.cpp:4537
> -    return m_closedCaptionsVisible;
> +    return m_webkitClosedCaptionsVisible;

You rename this: m_closedCaptionsVisible && m_webkitLegacyClosedCaptionOverride;

All good suggestions, I will make them before landing. Thanks!
