Never autodetect. Just initialize it to PAL.

You can't rely on autodetect since changing the standard will also change
the resolution and therefor change the buffer sizes.

Instead userspace just calls s_std explicitly. Even better if the driver
would support VIDIOC_QUERYSTD, but it seems that was never implented in
cx25840.
