Color burst lock instability is just a side effect of not using the
recommended value for this bit. If we use the recommended setting, we
will support more hardware while not breaking anything.

We have used the recommended value for this bit (as the datasheet
suggests) while we are in tvp5150_init_enable but in tvp5150_s_stream
we are using the wrong value.

Also we have this comment at line 319:
    /* Default values as sugested at TVP5150AM1 datasheet */
But as you see, TVP5150_MISC_CTL is not set to its suggested default
value.
