Thanks, that would certainly be the easiest path to avoid the regression given
the other drivers that use tda998x don't currently use adj_mode.  However I
don't disagree with your reasoning, it would make sense to only use values
from one of the strctures and not a mix and match.  Anybody looking at only
the tda998x driver would be confused :) I'll work on finding a different
solution for this.
