I can't figure out how to produce a signal that can't be locked onto
with what I have available.

The TDA19972 and/or TDA19973 has an A and B input but only a single
output. I'm not entirely clear if/how to select between the two and I
don't have proper documentation for the three chips.

The TDA19971 which I have on my board only has 1 input which is
reported as the 'A' input. I can likely nuke the stuff looking at the
B input and/or put some qualifiers around it but I didn't want to
remove code that was derived from some vendor code that might help
support the other chips in the future. So I would rather like to leave
the 'if A or B' stuff.

sure... reads a bit cleaner. I can't guarantee that any of
vper/hper/vsper will be 0 if a signal can't be locked onto without
proper documentation or ability to generate such a signal. I do know
if I yank the source I get non-zero random values and must rely on the
input_detect logic.

ya... me either. I'm trying my hardest to get this driver up to shape
but the documentation I have is utter crap and I'm doing some guessing
as well as to what all the registers are and what the meaning of the
very obfuscated vendor code does.

would you object to detecting timings and displaying via v4l2_dbg when
a resolution change is detected (just not 'using' those timings for
anything?):

It seems to make sense to me to be seeing a kernel message when
timings change and what they change to without having to query :)
