Renaming it to tvp515x.c and adding support for tvp5051 seems a good way.
With tvp5150, video acquisition works fine with several devices with em28xx,
although we may need to add more video formats at the media bus, depending
on what you're doing. I didn't test VBI support on it, because the devices
I have are based on em28xx, and I didn't find any way to capture the VBI
decoded packages and sent to userspace with that design. So, the basic stuff
is there, but maybe some adjusts may be needed for VBI.

The better is to submit the patches you have, for us to apply upstream.

Cheers,
Mauro
