It is not a matter of rephasing, but, instead, to be sure that it won't
cause regressions on existing hardware.

Yet, it would worth if you could describe at the patch what hardware
did you test it, and if VBI was tested too.

Anyway, I'll try to find some time to run some tests on the hardware
I have with tvp5150 too.

Regards,
Mauro
