Hi Maxime,

Sorry about the mess that happened to the previous message. I hope this one
will be delivered more cleanly.

In my original version of this function
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/4406/files) the switch is over
reference_mode->vtotal, not mode->vtotal. This was intended to explicitly allow
a different value of mode->vtotal, to support non-standard modes, such as "fake"
525 lines with SECAM encoding, or the progressive modes.

You're switching over mode->vtotal, which makes specifying those impossible.
I don't think we should limit the users like that.

We're removing reference_mode in patch 20/22, so adding a switch over
reference_mode->vtotal is probably not a good idea -- in that case I'd switch
over mode->htotal instead: 858 for "NTSC" and 864 for "PAL". This may seem a bit
weird, but any other value of htotal causes the VEC to output garbage anyway.
