Basically the enum is not required.
Everything works fine without replacing VIDEO_MODE_xxx by 
AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_xxx. (VIDEO_MODE_xxx is defined in videodev.h.)

On the other hand, I like the enum because it defines the interface
between firmware and driver in a clean way. video_tuner->mode defines
should not be used here because anything except VIDEO_MODE_PAL or
VIDEO_MODE_NTSC are not valid for the firmware. In the future the enum
might be extended to display NTSC content on a PAL TV...

It's ok. Currently we don't support those PAL standards in the firmware.

Will do so.
