The TDA1997x (HDMI receiver) driver currently uses a specific video format detection scheme. The frame (or field in interlaced mode), line and HSync pulse durations are compared to those of known, standard video modes. If a match is found, the mode is assumed to be detected, otherwise -ERANGE is returned (then possibly ignored). This means that: - another mode with similar timings will be detected incorrectly (e.g. 2x faster clock and lines twice as long) - non-standard modes will not work. This patch replaces this scheme with a direct read of geometry registers. This way all modes recognized by the chip are supported. In interlaced modes, the code assumes the V sync signal has the same duration for both fields. While this may be not necessarily true, I can't see any way to get the "other" V sync width. This is most probably harmless. All tests have been performed on Gateworks' Ventana GW54xx board, with a TDA19971 chip.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
