As previously said, this is something on our TODO list too :) but needs
a bit more infrastructure work.

Please don't pay to much attention to the NXP kernel. No one have a glue
where those porches came from. If I specify the burst-clock-freq. to
445.5 and set the lane number to 4 and hack in the porches values from
NXP, than I get a 720P output too. But this isn't the way to go instead
we should calc the porches settings and the burst-clock-frequency
dynamiclly to provide more than just a few resolutions. But for that we
need a clear understanding of how the ADV is working.

I will prepare a repo to day and will send you a link with the hack
patches in it, so you can test it :)
